COUNTY TO ASSIST TOWNS WITH SANDBAG REMOVAL

Rock County, in cooperation with the Towns of Fulton, Milton, Janesville, and Rock, today announced a plan for safely disposing of filled sandbags that are no longer needed by residents to protect their property from the recent flooding.

Residents of the four Towns will be asked to deliver unneeded, filled sandbags to centrally located deposit sites in each Town.

There will be locations in each Town where people can drop off sandbags. It is anticipated that specific locations will be announced to the public next week in anticipation of opening on Saturday, July 12. The plan would be to leave the sites open through August 18.

The County will take responsibility for disposing of the sand bags by delivering them to an approved landfill.
