SitemapA group on a mission to clean up blighted properties in Youngstown is finding just how big of a problem is posed by abandoned automotive tires.
This past weekend the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation collected discarded tires in a south side residential area.
They found enough tires to fill a vacant lot on Idora Avenue.
Youngstown Litter Control was contacted to dispose of the tires and was surprised to see just how many had been collected.
Litter Control officials say there are so many tires, it will take several trips to remove them all.
The job is expected to be completed by Wednesday.
