On
June 17, 2004, personnel from DCNR Bureau of Forestry and PA
CleanWays, Inc. assisted in the removal of an abandoned car
from Buchanan State Forest. The contractor, Gary Fronk of Thompsontown,
used a boom truck to pull the 1974 Chrysler several hundred
yards up a steep hillside. Once on Summit Road, the car was
transported to a scrap dealer to be recycled.
To
ensure proper disposal of waste, DCNR encourages residents to
contact the Bedford County Recycling Coordinator at (814) 623-8099.
