MASSIVE TIRE DUMP – The City of Lilburn made history during the spring by becoming the first local government in Gwinnett County to utilize the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) program helping property owners clean up and remove illegal tire dumps. Back in April, an estimated 3,000 passenger car tires were found illegally dumped on property behind the shopping center at 4805 Lawrenceville Highway. Police used surveillance and motion cameras in the apprehension of the suspects in the act of dumping. The City was able to help the property managers/owners by applying for funding under the EPD’s Scrap Tire Abatement Reimbursement (STAR) program. (Gwinnett Citizen Photo by Randy Louis Cox)
