(Ken Kamper’s presentation about Daniel Boone will be rescheduled.) Please join us to hear from Kent Schmidt and Cathysue Smick about tire clean-ups. We find a lot of things during trash clean-ups. But tires are probably the most difficult to deal with. It is illegal to put a whole tire in a landfill. You have pay a tire shredder operation for proper disposal. But there are some alternatives. Tonight we will hear from the tire experts of Stream Team 4922. They’ll tell us what can and cannot be done with tires, including a demonstration of one disposal technique for large scale clean-ups and individual tires.
