On Thursday, May 19 from noon to 4 p.m., Friday, May 20 from noon to 4 p.m., and on Saturday, May 21 from 8 a.m. to noon, a tire and scrap metal cleanup for Town and Village of Candor residential households will take place.
The drop off will be at the Town of Candor highway garage located at 33 Humiston St. in the Village of Candor.
The cleanup is being held 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 six 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 $2 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).
Larger tires will require residents to help load tires. Clean scrap metal will also be accepted at no charge. Proof of Town or Village of Candor residency is required.
The cleanup is being hosted by the Tioga County Department of Solid Waste, and is funded by Upstate Shredding-Ben Weitsman.
