Why must the wood stove be disposed of at an approved site?

It is important that older, inefficient wood stoves are not reused. Pendleton Sanitary Service (PSS) has agreed to destroy the old wood stoves that are collected and recycle them for scrap. You will receive proof when you drop your old wood stove off at PSS. Notify the drop-off site attendant that you are participating in the Wood Stove Replacement Program. Fill out pertinent information and have the attendant stamp the completed form. If the old wood stove is dropped off by the contractor, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the stamped receipt.
