Fireworks in Newark Valley - July 25
The Northern Tioga Chamber of Commerce is planning a fireworks show on Saturday, July 25, at dusk. The fireworks will be set off on Cooks Hill in
Newark Valley. From this location, people can see for miles around, watching from their porches or yards. Out-of-towners are encouraged to come to the Village of Newark Valley and watch the fireworks from their cars or lawn chairs at the Trout Ponds or the high school, keeping in mind the social distancing regulations. WEBO radio, 1330 AM, “Your Hometown Station” in Owego, will accompany the fireworks with patriotic music, so bring your radio or tune in to WEBO 1330 AM and listen in your car. The Newark Valley Fire Department will be on hand to ensure firework safety.
Town of Owego Tire Clean-up - July 11 The Town of Owego will hold its annual tire and scrap metal cleanup on Saturday, July 11, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Village of Owego Department of Public Works, 20 Elm Street, Owego. Town and Village of Owego residents may bring up to eight tires, up to 19 inches in size, at no charge and up to an additional eight tires for a fee of $1 per tire. Tires on rims will be taken at no charge and will not be included in the eight tire limit. Additional tires may be dropped off at $2 per tire. Clean scrap metal will also be accepted at no charge. Large tires (tractor/tractor-trailer) will
not be accepted. Waste tires present environmental, health, and safety hazards. Rainwater accumulates in tire piles creating an ideal environment for mosquitoes, which are known to transmit West Nile Virus. Reusing or recycling tires keeps them out of landfills. Old or used tires can be shredded or turned into crumbs to be reused in additives to asphalt for roads and playgrounds. Pulverized tire chips can become rubber flooring for equestrian and dog training centers. This program is held in conjunction with the Tioga County Water Quality Coordinating Committee.
