2024 Yakima River Canyon Marathon Waste Plan <br />Garbage and recyclables will be gathered at the starting line on Canyon Road south of Berry Road, at the <br />Ellensburg Days lnn staging area on Berry Road, and at 11 aid stations along the course route on State <br />Route 821 through the canyon. <br />Plastic garbage bags will be available at all the above sites. Volunteers will be instructed to separate <br />recyclables, such as plastic bottles and cups, from garbage, such as used paper cups and discarded foot <br />wrappings, and place them into large plastic bags. <br />A sweep vehicle will then pick up the bags and transport them to a Dumpster at the finish line, just north <br />of Sundown M Ranch in Yakima County. The driver of the sweep vehicle also will pick up any race-related <br />garbage that is found on the course outside of the aid stations. <br />We aim to leave the course cleaner than when we found it. ln past years, aid-station volunteers <br />(especially the Boy Scouts) have used their idle time to pick up non-race-related trash near their stations. <br />Feel free to send further questions my way. <br />-Fra n k Pu rdy, 509-96 1-9769 a nd fpu rdy@cha rter. net
