McMinnville officials have given permission to allocate city resources for the ninth annual River Ride and Cleanup by McMinnville Breakfast Rotary and Friends of Our Rivers on July 16.According to Public Works assistant director Brad Hennessee, he was contacted by Rotary Club member Neal Cox about the city’s participation this year.“Neal Cox called me last week and asked if the city could provide the trash pickup on Monday at the collection sites after the cleanup on Saturday,” said Hennessee. “Last year, Bridgestone hired a tire recycler to pick up all the tires. The city had to do a pretty extensive cleanup on the tires before the recycler would take them.
