KITTANNING, Pa. (AP) - Collecting roadkill is not the fastest way to gain popularity with neighbors.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has contracted Randy Good of North Buffalo Township to remove the animal remains from all of the public roads in five counties.
Good expects to remove between 50 to 100 carcasses a day, but has run into some difficulties in removing the animals. He has been storing up to a few hundred at a time in his own yard to cope with with landfill closure on the weekend and for when his truck has broken down.
Neighbors burn candles to mask the smell within their homes.
Good purchased a trash container, but warns that it will take at least a week to remove the rotting creatures.
