The Washington County Wood Stove Exchange Program and the Sustainability Division is offering a reward for the turn-in and recycling of old, uncertified wood stoves or wood stoves certified from 1986 to 1992. By recycling your old stove, you will help improve air quality for you and your community. This one-day event and the funds to be distributed are available only to homes in Washington County. Only 40 stoves will be accepted at this event.

To qualify for the $250 reward, individuals must register online and turn in a wood stove that meets certain criteria. The owner of the home must provide their name, address, and proof of address; stoves will only be accepted from the owner of the property or from a family member. This program will accept one stove per address and/or participant. Dismantled stoves/pieces can be dropped off, but will not be eligible for the rebate.
