Where does it go?

Ever wonder what happens to the snow that gets piled up in downtown Van Wert? According to Safety-Service Director Jay Fleming, after it’s loaded into dump trucks it’s taken to a dump site on Dutch John Rd., not far from U.S. 30. According to Fleming, due to a problem with equipment, crews will begin removing the snow piles Wednesday evening, instead of tonight. Scott Truxell/VW independent
