CLEANING UP METH LABS COSTLY FOR STATE

Cleaning up meth labs in the state last year cost millions of dollars, the head of the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics said.

In Mississippi, it costs from $2,500 to $7,000 to clean up a meth lab, said director Marshall Fisher.

In 2009, more than 620 meth labs were seized in the state, which translates to a cost of between $1.5 million and $4.3 million.
