Pontotoc County’s east side dealing with illegal dumping
SUMMARY: Pon talk County Supervisor Ernie Wright highlights a tire dumping issue on the east side of the county, particularly along Kings Highway near the Lee County line. The illegal dumping has resulted in more than 200 tires discarded over the last year. Law enforcement is monitoring the situation, but locating offenders is challenging due to the isolated dumping sites. The dumped tires can obstruct water flow during the rainy season, leading to potential hazards on the roads. Wright suggested that a reward may be offered for information to help identify those responsible for the illegal dumping.
