If you’re driving on Prospect Avenue in Lehigh Acres, you’ll notice tires lining the road, eventually leading to a big pile of trash filled with at least 25 tires.
“We have extra lots all near us where we live and I am constantly going out and cleaning up,” said Karen Taylor, a Lehigh Acres resident.
Taylor said she’s resorted to having to clean up the trash herself.
We reached out to Lee County about this problem and they say they are looking into it.
The county will pick up two regular tires with rims each week from your home on garbage day. Larger tires need to be taken to a resource recovery facility in Buckingham.
