HR Transfer Station Closed Today Due To Accident

The Hood River Transfer Station is closed today after a large loader struck a support beam of the three-sided cover over the station’s pad on Monday afternoon, compromising the integrity of the structure.  Hood River Garbage District Manager Jim Winterbottom says until an engineer can evaluate the damage, they have to remain closed to the public.  He hopes to have an engineer’s estimate by the end of the day and be able to open the station in some capacity Wednesday, but stressed that has yet to be determined.  Because garbage trucks are having to go straight to the Wasco County Landfill rather than the Hood River station, Winterbottom says curbside pickups may be running late today.
