By Howard B. Owens

A resident in Alabama near the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge reportedly spotted two men with a pickup bed full of worn tires dumping them in the wetlands at about 10:42 a.m. Thursday and reported it to State Police.

Arrested were James H. Calus, 45, of Medina, and Jerry E. Nichols, 64, of Albion.

Both were issued appearance tickets for an alleged violation of the State's Environmental Conservation Law, section 9-0303, for illegal dumping on state land.

The incident occurred in the area of 1101 Casey Road, Alabama.

Not that it matters but,,, some garbage biodegrades. So,,, I say, tie these two to a tree in the Bergen Swamp, and watch them biodegrade? I think that the Missasaugua Rattlers would enjoy babysitting these creeps as well.

Tires can be recycled, right ? They grind 'em up and use 'em in roads and things. How about somebody has a day like Mr. Hawley had for electronics where you take 'em in and get rid of 'em for free ? Just a thought. [I don't have any to get rid of, myself.] There's a company in Lockport that does tire recycling. https://www.triplemusedtire.com/
