On Friday, May 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Saturday, May 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Town of Barton residential households (Includes the Village of Waverly) can take their tires and scrap metal to the Town of Barton Highway Gravel Pit, the first right over the railroad off of Broad Street Extension and Ellistown Road in Waverly, for disposal.
The purpose of the cleanup is to minimize potential areas for mosquitoes to reproduce and reduce health-related problems transmitted through insects and vermin, and to assist in beautifying the Town of Barton.
Up to eight tires per residential household will be accepted at no charge (up to 19-inches); up to an additional eight tires will be accepted for a fee of $1 per tire.
Tires on rims will be taken at no charge and will not be included in the eight tire limit.
Any tires over 19-inches will count as two tires (up to four tires). Additional tires may be dropped off at $2 per tire (up to four tires).
Clean scrap metal will also be accepted at no charge. Proof of Town of Barton residency is required.
The program is hosted by the Tioga County Department of Solid Waste and is funded by Upstate Shredding – Ben Weitsman.
