One of our FTJF Board members put her waders on at the edge of this pond to retrieve 3 rotting, toxin-leaching tires from this bioretention pond near the Jones Falls. She was assisted by two others members.
As those of you who read our Facebook page might know, in four separate efforts in two locations along embankments of the Jones Falls Trail, beginning mid-December, 2020, a group of four FTJF members have extracted more than 100 discarded tires in all.
Thankfully, we’ve found that DPW Solid Waste has defined procedures entailing responsible disposition of discarded tires.
