Get tires out of the Potomac Cleanup event set for later this month

by Geoff Fox

A clean up event has been set for July 27 as the Washington County Clean County Initiative and Creek Cleanup Project look to remove tires from the Potomac River area.

The event starts at 9 a.m. at the Hancock Boat Ramp and runs until 12 p.m. Volunteers will be floating down the river to a tire dump site to remove as many tires as they can carry in their boats.
