Residents may be interested in getting back in their gardens, and composted mulch from Las Cruces Utilities is again available, free for pickup, at the LCU Foothills Landfill Composting Facility at 555 S. Sonoma Ranch Blvd.
“The free composted mulch is part of the circular economy of yard waste that we have in Las Cruces. We process the yard waste that residents dispose of in clear bags and leave out for the Green Grappler and turn it into something they can reuse in the future,” said Robin Lawrence, LCU deputy director Solid Waste.
As part of LCU residential Solid Waste service, the Green Grappler can pick up an amount equal to two level half-ton pickup truck loads or 4 cubic yards, which is equivalent to four 5’x3’x2’ adjacent piles. Larger loads may be scheduled for pick up for an additional charge and can be arranged by calling Customer Central at 575-541-2111.
LAS CRUCES - More than half of New Mexico s major roads and highways are in fair-to-poor condition, according to a new report released Thursday by the DC-based transportation research nonprofit TRIP.
In major metro areas, 34 percent of roadways in the Santa Fe area are in poor condition, compared to 32 percent in the Las Cruces area and 40 percent in the Albuquerque area.
Traffic congestion, deteriorated roadways and gaps in safety features cost the state s drivers an estimated $2.7 billion annually, according to TRIP.
The 19-page report itemizes $2.79 billion in state transportation projects from resurfacing and road reconstruction to widening, drainage improvements and bridge replacements or widening that remain unfunded.
