The illegally dumped tire pile on Paradise Road has been cleaned up by AGFC (again).

Earlier this year AGFC offered a tire disposal site here for a brief period of time as part of Lake Conway cleanup. That opportunity has long since expired. Please do not dump tires or any garbage at this location going forward as the City will have to bear the expense of cleaning that up.
