On August 16, 2016 John Patrone met with Clyde Harding and Doug Springer to conduct a comprehensive inspection of
the Guilford County Scrap Tire and White Goods Collection Facility on Bishop Road in Greensboro, Guilford County.

the CFCs have been removed the white goods are placed in the scrap metal roll-off container. Commingled
recyclables are collected in a front load container.
6. Scrap tires are laced in the trailers upon receipt by facility personnel.
7. The facility fills a scrap tire trailer in ~ 1.5 days.
