Daniel McDonald, Litter Control Coordinator, commented that approximately 8 tons of paper are usually collected\/shredded at such events.<\/p>\n<p>As evidenced by the photographs shown below, everybody on the work crew enjoyed spending time with each other while stacking tires, and there was some good natured bantering and lots of camaraderie.\u00a0 Also, it was a good work-out exercise-wise; hoisting heavy tires to waist height, some filled with rain water that sloshed all over, is a task that is not for the faint-hearted!\u00a0 THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AND EFFORTS TO HELP OUT AT THIS EVENT.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45070 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1.jpg\" alt=\"Suffolk SCCC Tire Station work crew\" width=\"907\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1.jpg 907w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic1-247x150.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-45071\" alt=\"\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45072 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3.jpg\" alt=\"810 tires to be recycled\" width=\"942\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3.jpg 942w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic3-250x141.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- WP Attachments -->\r\n        <div style=\"width:100%;margin:10px 0 10px 0;\">\r\n            <h3><div style=\"float:right;\">\r\n            <form>\r\n            <select name=\"orderby\" onchange=\"if (this.value) window.location.replace(this.value);\">\r\n              <option selected value=\"\/sniwla\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45068\">Order by<\/option>\r\n              <option value=\"\/sniwla\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45068?orderby=date\">Date<\/option>\r\n              <option value=\"\/sniwla\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45068?orderby=title\">Name<\/option>\r\n            <\/select>\r\n            <\/form>\r\n        <\/div>Attachments<\/h3>\r\n        <ul class=\"post-attachments\"><li class=\"post-attachment mime-image-jpeg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/recap-of-suffolk-public-works-tire-amnesty-recycling-event-11-15-2025\/?download=45071\">lores_SCCCPic2<\/a> <small>(ERROR)<\/small> <div style=\"float:right;\">November 15, 2025<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45069 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"SCCC Recycling Drive\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4-250x125.jpg 250w, https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lores_SCCCPic4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Early on a beautiful Saturday morning on November 15th at the Litter Control facility on Carolina Road in Suffolk, representatives from the Suffolk  \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/sniwla.org\/sniwla\/recap-of-suffolk-public-works-tire-amnesty-recycling-event-11-15-2025\/\"> Read more <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;
