Town of Tioga tire and scrap metal cleanup planned

On June 2, from 9 a.m. to noon and June 3, from 9 a.m. to noon, the Town of Tioga will hold a tire and scrap metal cleanup for Town of Tioga residential households. The collection point will be around the corner from the Town Hall on Allyn Road. 

The collection is 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 Tioga.

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 and proof of Town of Tioga residency is required.

This is event is hosted by the Tioga County Department of Solid Waste, and funding for this program is provided by Upstate Shredding-Ben Weitsman.
