A 20 percent reduction in disposal fees at the Montgomery County Solid Waste District Transfer Station has been extended for those affected by the Memorial Day tornadoes.

>> Many tornado survivors don’t know they are eligible for assistance

Also, all yard waste and brush disposal will continue to be free to Montgomery County residents.

The reduction in disposal costs will be until Oct. 28, with Montgomery County and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency waiving some fees for tornado victims.
