  • Keep It Clean

    Dec 6, 2012

    Last week, a Waitsburg resident walking his dog north of town spotted about a dozen bags of leaves dumped by the side of the Touchet River down from the old mill site. It isn't the first time waste has been found out and about in our communities. Last year, we took to task the individual or individuals who dumped the remains of several deer, pigs and even a sturgeon by a culvert on Mill Race Road. Another local resident finally took it upon himself to clean up that illegal dump. In the case of the bagged leaves by the river, city crews rounded...
