Landfill adds extra day for mulch pickups

LECANTO -- Workers at the Citrus County Central Landfill will be available an extra day each month to help customers load recycled mulch into their trucks free of charge. The county will load the mulch, made of recycled yard waste, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month, in addition to its regular loading hours of 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Friday. People are also welcome to load mulch into their own trucks during all regular landfill hours. Drivers must cover the loads with a tarp before taking it home, and first-time customers must fill out a release form at the landfill office. For more information call recycling coordinator Frank Wentzel at 746-5000.
