Plain Township Updates Yard Waste Rules

PLAIN TOWNSHIP (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The Plain Township Board of Trustees updated a resolution last night on recently approved legislation involving the townships yard waste site.

Last month the trustees voted to privatize the site, making it limited to residents who purchased a key card starting in the new year.
