Re: [Fwd: Mulch from hurricane zone]

When I first read the original post (which was sent out with a disclaimer that it was 'rumor' not 'fact'), I thought the termite couldn't survive the mulching and the sealing it the air-tight bags exposed to heat. Be that as it may (or may not :-), after the Katrina tragedy and resulting chaos by government on all levels, the following makes one shudder (from the Snopes article):
 
>>> There are a multitude of government (state and federal) agencies that are looking at this debris every day as it is deposited into these landfills. The contractors mulching and hauling the debris know the regulations and are abiding by them according to the quarantine requirements. If there is anyone with knowledge of debris moving out of a quarantine area, they should contact our 24-hour hotline at 225-925-3763. <<<
 
With folks still struggling for life's essentials, who in the heck would have any faith in anyone calling the hotline?
