LANDFILL OVERLOADED, MUST SELL MULCH

The Montgomery County Landfill is trying to unload an oversupply of mulch. Fall cleanups in the area have brought in huge quantities of brush that have been processed into mulch as part of the county's recycling program.

State regulations require that at least 75 percent of the mulch be removed within a year for the program to count toward the county's recycling effort.

The mulch is priced at $15 a ton, and the landfill crew will load the material for you.

Mulch can be purchased during landfill hours: 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1-4:30 p.m. Sunday.

For more information, call Dawn French in the Office of Environmental Conservation, 382-5793.
