Vermeer HG525 Horizontal Grinder owned by Cumberland County in operation at the facility
In early 2007, the Township purchased a new loader at a cost of $126,269. It is used primarily by the Public Works Department for highway, parks and composting projects.
Double shredded wood mulch is available on a first come first serve basis. Residents have commented that it’s great for mulching around their flower beds to retain moisture and hold back weed growth. The material is very popular and sometimes is depleted very quickly.
Bring us your unwanted and unusable yard waste and allow us to turn it into material that you can reuse on your gardens and flowerbeds.
