The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) continues to treat properties for free to protect the community from the invasive Japanese beetle in Yakima county.

Properties must return a paper or electronic consent form to be treated. Less than half of eligible properties have responded to WSDA’s multiple treatment requests. If more property owners do not consent, Japanese beetles will permanently establish in our state. It is not late to be part of the solution and sign up for a free treatment.

68,237 beetles were trapped in Grandview, Sunnyside, Outlook, Mabton and Prosser, up from 24,754 in 2024. Nearby Wapato saw a decrease in catches with 1,117 catches this year compared to 1,546 catches in 2024.

Call 1-800-443-6684 or email [email protected] to get your free treatment.

Yesterday afternoon we had a fire at in the transfer station at our Terrace Heights landfill. The fire was undoubtedly caused by a lithium ion battery. Working in garbage is a highly dangerous profession, consistently ranking among the most fatal jobs in the U.S. We need your help in keeping our employees and customers safe.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN YOUR LOAD.
