Mexico is working to cut down the number of tire dumps stacked along the U.S. border. The nation's environment ministry said around 2.3 million tires had been removed from seven dumps along the 2,000-mile border since June 2004 as part of a bilateral effort to clean up the territory. The project, operated in conjunction with the federal EPA, removed tires from six dumps south of California and one south of Texas.
