Hamilton’s abandoned tyre mountain has been wheeled out of the city but concerns remain over where the tyres have been taken.
City councillor Dave Macpherson has asked council staff for an update on the tyre removal project following reports other councils did not want the tyres stockpiled in their backyard.
Kawerau-based recycling company EcoVersion was awarded the contract to remove up to 150,000 used tyres from a Frankton depot at a cost of $260,000.
