One Million Dollar Bill For Clean-Up

A tyre dump dating back to the 1950’s which has lain unserviced since the death of the owner in 1977 is creating problems for Burlington County, Philadelphia. The stock of one million scrap tyres has been subject to arson attacks. However it is the fight against West Nile Virus, spread by mosquitoes which breed in the sheltered stagnant pools of water in the tyres that has finally generated the effort to clear the dump.
