My neighborhood has plenty of scrap tires for crafty swing projects, I would loooove for someone to repurpose them. I am in South Fulton county-greenfields939@yahoo.com

Would you happen to know where I might be able to find a scrap tire that I can use for swing project? I am in Athens, GA.

Good moring Caroline,
To help shed some light on your predicament,,NO NO NO…your neighbors cannot dump these items on public or private property…This is most defintiely a solid waste issue, not to mention a highly potential water quality issue. There should be a local EPD office near you, (I am not sure of your region, but it might even be Athens office) If this happened in the County I work in (Columbia County near Augusta) I would handle it as illegal dumping and make them clean up or go to court. You have a local county office, environmental or traditional CODE ENFORCEMENT, contact them right away. In fact, Gaby Bryan is with Oconee County Code Enforcement, and her number is (706) 769-3907…We are in a Code Enforcment association together. If she doesn’t handle that, she can at least point you in the right direction.
Good Luck,
Dana Allen

A property owner here in our subdivision is dumping house hold and building supplies next to a home owner, on a street that is an easement for DOT maintenance on Sewage lines.
They openly admitted to dumping trash and say they are going to ‘really mess it up when the bull dozers come next week”

This waste is located on a flood field on the Middle Oconee, and is just upstream from my house.

Just because it’s private property (except for the easement road where the trash is located) are they allowed to do this?

Thanks for your help.
