DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - City officials are taking the first steps to clean up a controversial mountain of roof shingles in Southeast Dallas.
Yesterday, the city released a bid proposal that calls for loading and hauling away "175 thousand yards of shingles and related debris" from 9522 S. Central Expressway.
The dumping ground is not so lovingly referred to as Shingle Mountain. It's been a source of contention for about two years, prompting heated protests and lawsuits.
Companies who want to move the towering pile of debris must submit a bid by September 24.
The materials will be hauled to the McCommas Bluff Landfill on Youngblood Road, about a quarter mile away.
