Burning - - - the ALTERNATIVE Every Saturday morning at the "Dollar Store" parking lot in Littlestown the Adams County Rescue Mission collects glass, metal cans, cardboard, newspapers and plastic. Everyone is strongly urged to take advantage of this opportunity. Keep the smoke from burn barrels at a minimum, do not burn items that are illegal to burn, which means any recyclable item and at the same time help to improve air quality and the environment. When planning an "open burning" FIRST call 717-334-8101 to let County Control know of your plans. |
