The Town of Tioga announced their annual tire and scrap metal cleanup will take place on Friday, June 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and on Saturday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. around the corner from the Town Hall on Allyn Road.
The cleanup is open to Town of Tioga residential households only.
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 Tioga.
Up to eight tires per residential household will be accepted at no charge (up to 19-inches); and 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 Tioga residency is required.
Upstate Shredding-Ben Weitsman provides funding and the Tioga County Department of Solid Waste hosts the cleanup.
