Councilman James Pulliaum said he had reported tire dumping to police twice last month and is working with the police as they investigate.
City Engineer Phillip Sorrell said the county doubled up on tire recycling trailers at the shop on Highway 64. “With just one trailer, it was really tricky, even for the city, being able to take a load of tires out there for disposal,” said Sorrell. “It should get better with two trailers there now.”
West Memphis’ recycling efforts continue to show growth. Residents dropped off 14,770 pounds of recyclables at the city’s bins in December.
