Wherever used tyres are dumped by a waterway or piled high in urban dead-ends, look for Jon Merryman; he’ll be there.
Merryman, 62, drove 115 miles (185km) on a recent Saturday from his home near Baltimore to Tacony Creek Park in the Crescentville section of Philadelphia, the United States to participate in a major tyre cleanup sponsored by the city and several non-profits.
