Potter County Conservation District is winding up a
successful clean-up job that has rid the county of several unsanitary and
unsightly illegal dumps. One 2013 study identified 56 illegal dumps in Potter
County spread out over 22 townships and boroughs filled with tires, furniture,
electronics, vehicle parts, household waste and other rubbish.
Two contractors
were hired this month to clean up five high-priority sites in Pike, Sharon and
Bingham townships. Galeton High School students helped with a site in Abbott
Township. Several smaller sites will be addressed soon in the townships of
Oswayo, Pike, Roulette, Sharon, Summit, Sweden, Ulysses, West Branch and
Bingham.
