Huntsville’s Green Waste Facility Opens for Season The Huntsville Town Green Waste Facility is now open on Saturday’s from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The facility will remain open on Wednesday evenings as long as there is a demand. Visit www.HuntsvilleTown.com for the latest details and hours of operation. In 2009, the town experimented with the creation of a green waste composting facility. Previously, materials dumped at the site by Huntsville residents were burned each spring. Last year, the wood products were chipped and are now available for sale. The price for the chipped wood will be comparable to the fees charged at the Weber County and Ogden Green Waste Facilities, while saving users a trip to Ogden. Beginning in early May, a tractor will be available on site to load your trucks and trailers with the wood products. Also in 2009, a major shift in philosophy was tested when the town council decided to allow Ogden Valley residents to dump their green waste on a trial basis. The simultaneous goals were to provide Valley residents an alternative to the Weber County Green Waste facility, while collecting more material for composting and chipping. Valley residents will be able to use the facility again this year. Out-of-town users will pay a bit more than those within the boundaries of incorporated Huntsville Town since Huntsville Town residents subsidize the facility through property taxes; however, with the purchase of a dump card, users will essentially get one free day of dumping (5 days for the price of 4). Without the dump card, out-of-town users will pay $10 per load for a single axle truck or trailer, or $40/ ton. Since there is no scale, the dump manager will estimate the size of the load and the dump employee will have the final say, although most loads are charged the minimum $10 fee. Out-of-town users may purchase a five-punch dump pass for $40. It may be purchased either at the facility or at the Huntsville Town Hall during normal business hours. The pass may be used from year to year, but is non-transferable. Currently, the facility will accept yard waste only. Acceptable materials include: woody tree materials, vines, bushes, twigs, and limbs, and compost material - soft, unbagged, vegetative material such as grass clippings, leaves, pine needles, sawdust, and shavings, etc. Huntsville is now looking into the possibility of creating a mini transfer station where concrete, general waste, and construction materials may also be accepted and transferred to Ogden or Layton on a monthly basis.

The following are declared noxious weeds for the State of Utah and the county of Weber: DYERS WOAD cont. from page 1 rapidly produce more flower stalks and go to seed. Plants pulled while they still have yellow flowers can be left in the field; none of its seed will be mature enough to germinate. If all of the flowers are gone, some of the seed will be viable and plants need to be collected and put in the garbage. Chemical control of dyers woad can be very effective. Small land owners will want to use 2,4-D with a surfactant (an adjuvant that helps the herbicide spread on, stick to, and penetrate the leaf surface). This herbicide works well while the plants are young. Once the dyers woad is mature enough to have flowers the 2,4-D is not very effective. Large property owners will get their best control with Escort or Telar. These products are only sold in larger sized packages. They have some soil activity and one application will often control dyers woad for two years. Please read and follow the label instructions. On Saturday, June 2 Ogden Valley will host dyers woad events throughout the community, with a raffle and lunch provided in the afternoon by Ogden Valley legislative representative Gage Froerer. The lunch and raffle will be held at the Eden Park.

In the spring they bolt up and flower fairly quickly. The flowers have four yellow petals. Once the yellow flowers are gone, green seed pods develop along the flower stalk. By midsummer the seed has matured and the entire plant turns black. After seeding the plants die and the cycle starts over again. It is one of the 27 designated “Noxious Weeds” in Utah. Dyers woad thrives in dry sandy or gravelly soils that are common to many foothills. It is often seen in waste areas, disturbed sites, right of ways and rangeland. It is not palatable to livestock or wildlife. It crowds out other edible range vegetation, and dies early in the summer, leaving no food for grazing. In addition, the seed pods rot on the ground and exude a toxin that kills the roots of nearby plants. The Bureau of Land Management estimates that heavy infestations of dyers woad can reduce rangeland carrying capacity by 38% (“BLM NW Regional Noxious Weed Control EIS, 1985). Control - Dyers woad can be hand pulled while soils are moist in the spring; however, it’s probably best to plan on using a shovel. The crown of the plant is approximately an inch below the soil surface. If the root is broken off or cut below the crown, the plant will not survive. However, if it is cut off at ground level, it will • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Bermudagrass (cynodon dactylon) Canada thistle (cirsium arvense) Diffuse knapweed (centaurea diffusa) Dyers woad (isatis tinctoria L) Field bindweed (Wild Morning Glory) (convolvulus arvensis) Hoary cress (cardaria drabe) Johnsongrass (sorghum halepense) Leafy spurge (euphorbia esula) Medusahead (taeniatherum caput-medusae) Musk thistle (carduus mutans) Perennial pepperweed (lepidium latifolium) Perennial sorghum (sorghum halepense L & sorghum almum) Purple loosestrife (lythrum salicaria L.)
