With the clearing of debris from Harvey completed, local officials are now having a problem with the clearing of man-made debris that has begun appearing in recent weeks. Code Enforcement Officer Harry Vine with the City of Pinehurst reported that someone is dumping old used tires sometimes as many as fifty tires at each of the various locations.
The problem extends across city boundaries as both Pinehurst and Orange have found stacks of the old scrapped tires. Vine said, “Officials are trying to figure out where the tires are coming from and then get them disposed of.”
One area in particular that has been a dump site for the tires in the former convenience store and washeteria on 37th Street which borders both Pinehurst and the City of Orange. Vine asked for the public’s assistance if they see any vehicles driving around with used tires to possibly contact the police.
