PHILADELPHIA - For most places, it may be bizarre to wake up to a boat full of tires dumped out front of your home.
For people living in Frankford, it’s their reality. Early Sunday morning, residents on Church and Worth Street noticed an abandoned boat full of old tires on the sidewalk.
Some residents are saying that the tires were dumped separately and then loaded onto the boat. Either way, locals in the area have had enough of the illegal dumping they notice every day. "We don’t want our city to look like this.
I think that if you have trash and litter, people feel like then it’s okay to do whatever they want, that there is no authority, and that the people in the city and the elected officials don’t really care about it," said local resident Julie Slavit.
