Burning Brush

Hutchinson to Eureka

Dave waiting for the train to pass  

On the way from Hutchinson to Eureka, we stopped in Hesston, which was quite metropolitan compared to the rural towns we’ve passed through in Kansas thus far.  At City Hall, I spoke with John Carter on the county’s waste management practices.  They have a voluntary recycling collection service, as well as mandatory solid waste collection.  For yard waste, they have a burn site located a bit outside of town where residents can bring their tree branches and grass clippings.  The ash from the burned brush gets taken to the landfill.  So does food waste.
