Warned That
np Trash Along
le Prosecuted
ie North Fork- Craigmont Road
a clean up the unsightly trash
hese men met last week after
p this area.
Not only has this created an
eyesore in the community but
a health hazard as well. Decay
ing garbage and dead dogs
have been dumped down the
bank into stagnant water.
This spot has previously
been covered over and seeded,
but dumpers have returned,
despite the fact that the Bun
combe County Health Depart
ment has warnings posted.
The next morning after this
dump was cleaned up, sev
eral bags of trash were dump
ed from a Montreat household.
Addressed letters and mag
azines were gathered as evid
ence, and this case is await
ing prosecution.
It is surprising that trash
containing mail of “promin
ent” citizens of Black Moun
tain including Montreat Road,
Lakewood, Montreat, and
North Blue Ridge Road should
be found here. In fact, it
is generally noted that almost
all the dumpers are from out
side the community.
A county dump is located
west of Swannanoa off high
way 70 near the weight sta
tion. Town of Black Moun
tain residents are urged to
use their own town-provided
garbage pick-up service.
This Grovestone site adjoins
property of Morgan Mfg. Co.,
Western Carolina State Hos
pital, and Grovestone Sand
Company. J. G. Northcott of
Grovestone Sand Company has
already made plans to assist
the clean-up effort at this
dump by further pushing and
covering. Lee Hutchins pro
vided the tractor.
Residents of the North Fork
-Cragnont Road are making
another appeal to everyone
to stop this litter in their
community and are warning
that violators will be prosecut
ed.
