Tire cleanup set
Allegheny Energy employees will once more canvas the region collecting old tires from roadways, streams and green spaces. The collection will be held on Saturday in a variety of locations in Fayette and Greene counties.
Combined, about 150 workers will work in pre-selected areas gathering improperly discarded tires.
Last year, more than 900 volunteers removed more than 37,000 improperly discarded tires from roadways, streams and other areas. In two years, about 2,000 volunteers have collected more than 60,000 tires.

Pershing, Allegheny Energy’s advisor, strategic environmental management, said.
