In an effort to improve the quality of the brush/mulch program the RCSWA accomplished several things. First, we approached the regulatory agencies requesting a reduction in the fees for brush and ‘wood only’ loads in an effort to reduce the amount of brush that was being illegally dumped. Then, in an effort to achieve a better quality mulch product, the RCSWA board authorized a major upgrade to the existing tub grinder which changed the drum and hammermill assembly thus achieving a much finer quality mulch product for use by individuals.
