Milwaukee business combating illegal tire dumping crisis

In Milwaukee, illegal tire dumping has become a serious problem. Piles of discarded tires can be found in vacant lots and alleys, creating health risks and environmental hazards. These tires attract rodents and can catch fire, putting nearby communities at risk. Eric Broxton, who manages Tires Express LLC, decided to take action after 700 tires were dumped near his wife's business. His company cleaned up the mess and recycled all the tires without costing taxpayers any money. Broxton highlighted the dangers of burning tires and the diseases they can spread. Illegal tire dumping is increasing across the city. Many people do not know how to properly dispose of their old tires, leading them to abandon them in public areas. Broxton believes the city needs a united approach to solve the problem. He is calling for city officials, businesses, and residents to work together on this issue. Tires Express is already the largest tire recycler in Milwaukee, processing over 1 million tires each year. Now, Broxton wants to offer more solutions. His plans include educating the community about proper disposal, organizing drop-off events for residents, partnering with auto shops, and providing affordable recycling options. Broxton is inviting everyone to a Community Tire Recycling Discussion & Open House. The goal is to create a sustainable plan for tire disposal in Milwaukee. He emphasizes that it's important to collaborate rather than blame each other. Broxton believes that by working together, the community can tackle this issue effectively. For Broxton, improving Milwaukee is more than just business. He wants to give back to the community that has supported him. He urges everyone to come together for this cause.
