Mt. Lebanon Homeowners Want Mulch Pile Relocated

Tuesday marked the third anniversary of the day Mary and Bob D'Angelo purchased what was to be their "forever home."

They had hoped the property would be a place to welcome their grandchildren, walk their dog and enjoy their retirement.

Instead, they have spent most of the past three years fighting to end Mt. Lebanon's use of a site 230 feet behind their house as a compost heap. On Tuesday night, about 40 neighbors, as well as some local government representatives, gathered in their house to share their experiences and urge action to end the operation.
