KINGSTON TWP. &#8212; Township gardeners now have more time to get their yard waste to the composting site with expanded hours, the township manager said at Wednesday&#8217;s supervisors&#8217; meeting.The Kingston Township Composting Site offers residents an environmentally friendly way to dispose of yard waste. But the facility&#8217;s hours conflicted with some residents&#8217; work schedules as one man pointed out last month.Township manager Kathleen Sebastian announced Wednesday the composting site on East Center Street in Shavertown, will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.&#8220;The (time) changes will be effective immediately,&#8221; she said.In other news, supervisors agreed to sponsor a Luzerne County Office of Community Development grant application for The Lands at Hillside Farms for funding to install a crosswalk on Hillside Road in Shavertown.Chet Mozloom, executive director of the nonprofit farm, was in the audience and happy to hear the news.&#8220;I have been working on the crosswalk idea for at least eight years,&#8221; Mozloom said.If the grant is awarded to The Lands at Hillside Farms, Mozloom plans to fund the project to establish a crosswalk, LED flashing lights and a crosswalk sign to create a safe and designated place for guests to cross Hillside Road in front of the farm&#8217;s main office building to reach the milking and nursery barns.&#8220;It would be a mid-block crosswalk,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There are a couple (crosswalks) around like the one by the Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre.&#8221;The next municipal meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sept. 14 in the Kingston Township building.<div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta>By Eileen Godinegodin@www.timesleader.com</bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta>Reach Eileen Godin at 570-991-6387 or on Twitter @TLNews.</shirttailMeta></div>
