The purpose of the new Central Wood Lot located at the Materials Recovery Facility, is to provide a place for wildfire mitigation wood debris for Anchorage residents. The Anchorage Fire Department encourages residents to clear a defensible space around their homes. Now Anchorage residents have a place to bring the debris rather than filling up the landfill and harnessing the "trash, as a treasure." Please note the acceptable items for the wood lot may be different from the Anchorage Regional Landfill Wood Lot.
