PLUMSTED: New location for composting site

   PLUMSTED — The municipal leaf and branch composting site is moving to a new location at EME Inc., 849 Route 539 South in New Egypt effective Jan. 5.
   Residents can dispose of leaves, branches and brush at this new location Saturdays from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Holiday schedule changes will be announced on the township website at www.plumsted.org.
   ”This township service will continue to operate as in the past,” said Township Committeeman Mike Wysong, who is also the town’s recycling coordinator. “There are no residential charges or fees associated with the use of this site, and free mulch will continue to be available for residents.”
   The relocation of the composting site to EME will save the township $3,500 a year, Mr. Wysong said.
   The former composting site on Magnolia Road, across from the Police Department, no longer is accepting items, he said.
