Tires Are Junk Too in NC
Tires are junk too in NC! We were called to a warehouse that had a fire in Goldsboro, NC. And guess what was in the warehouse? Right! Tires! You must have played this game before, haven’t you.
So, getting back to the job, there were 240 tires and 4,000 pounds of metal that needed to be removed from this partially destroyed warehouse. And we removed all of it in 1 day. Yup! That’s a lot of junk and we were happy to help this company out. With all of those tires being disposed of, we started wondering about all of the tires that are disposed of across the country. Tires are junk too.
