3,000-plus illegally dumped tires found in dredging of Philadelphia river

I’m not sure what the tragedy is. If I have trash there is literally nowhere else for it but the landfill.

Some years ago, my son took a turn too close, and clipped one of DC's granite curbs, damaging the sidewall of the tire. The first tire shop I called (in Maryland, just over the line) quoted me a price, which when I showed up turned out to omit the tire disposal fee for the ruined one. I went next door and paid about the same price. My recollection is that the disposal fee was somewhere between one and two thirds of the new tire price.

Just throw them in the Forrest. Taxes for garbage disposal. are just pre paid tranches for future stupidity.
