Search to find Hamilton tyre dumpers

Fifty to 60 tyres have been dumped on a semi-rural Hamilton road – and Hamilton City Council staff would
like to know who did it.

The tyres were dumped on Saturday night on Peacockes Road.  Police have been informed.

“We have to deal with all sorts of illegal dumping around the city, usually bags of rubbish or furniture left out on the street, but this incident is a stand-out,” said Transportation Manager Phil Consedine.
The cost of collecting and disposing of the tyres falls on the Council.

“Someone must know where these tyres came from and who dumped them,” Mr Consedine said.
‘’It would have needed a truck to get them there. We have to pick them up and dispose of them and that’s a cost to the ratepayers. It would be nice to give the culprit the bill.’’

Anyone with information should call Hamilton Central Police Station on 07 858 6200 or Hamilton City Council.
