Community <br />leaders have been going throughout the neighborhood <br />informing residents that they will be able to dispose of <br />such unwanted items as old stoves, refrigerators, water <br />heaters, furniture, etc., and that they will be picked up in <br />front of their homes and taken to the landfill. <br />Chairman Bird reported that a couple of local <br />contractors had volunteered the use of their equipment <br />during the cleanup. Saw Mill Ridge has donated a front end <br />loader and dump truck for the first Saturday, and Trodglen <br />Paving has donated the same type of equipment for the next <br />Saturday. However, the landfill, being an enterprise <br />operation, has to collect a fee for accepting the trash, and <br />he felt that the local contractors should not have to pay <br />the fees involved. He had talked with Public Works Director <br />Jim Davis who advised that Road & Bridges has an account at <br />the landfill with sufficient funds to pick up these fees. <br />24 <br />
