If you're not able to make this free event for disposing of tires, you do have options! Metro Waste Authority has year-round drop-off containers at several locations.
Illegal dumping and stockpiling of used tires can create serious health and safety risks. In Iowa it is illegal to dump tires, and non-shredded tires are banned from landfills! |
