The Suffolk Clean Community Commission (SCCC) sponsored a recycling drive and tire amnesty day on Saturday, April 16th, 2016 in the Lowe’s parking lot on North Main Street. The event ran from 10:00am until 2:00pm but apparently some people were eager to get rid of their tires because when volunteers arrived to set up for the event, there were a number of tires already stacked in the parking lot. Volunteers set up to receive materials to be recycled, supply document shredding services, receive Goodwill donations and collect food donations in support of the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.
Among the volunteers supporting this event were several members of our local Suffolk-Nansemond Chapter of the IWLA, Mike Lane, HJ Miller, Elaine Doxey and Tim Doxey.
