8 Tire Collection Program The Commissioners authorized three (3) free collection events specifically to discourage illegal dumping and the spread of mosquito borne illnesses. The tires that are collected will be shredded and repurposed by a local business into products for civil engineering, such as highway sound barrier wall material, and for playground material. If you would otherwise like to dispose of tires, tire retailers usually accept used tires for a recycling fee of approximately $3 - $5 per tire.
