The Independence Conservancy will hold a series of four Community Tire Collection events in Beaver County in September and October.

Need to get rid of tires or wheels from your car or truck? Bring them to the following locations this fall:

-- September 8: Hookstown Fair Grounds, Route 168, Greene Township, Hookstown from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.;

-- September 9: Hookstown Fair Grounds, Route 168, Greene Township, Hookstown from 9:00 a.m. to Noon;

-- September 30: Brighton Township Road Dept., 1250 Brighton Road, Beaver from 9:00 a.m. to Noon; and

-- October 7: Ambridge Borough Building, 600 11th Street, Ambridge from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

Individuals and small businesses are welcome. No proof of residency is required, and there is no limit to the number of tires or wheels any one person may bring.

Disposal fees for auto and light truck tires up to 18” off rim are $3 each; $5 if on rim. Tractor trailer tires up to 22.5” and farm tractor rear tires up to 75 lbs. are $20 each, but no rims please. Farm tractor tires over 75 lbs. are priced according to weight.

Community tire collections are offered as a public service to provide proper and affordable disposal of scrap tires, thus reducing the risk of Zika and West Nile viruses by eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.

Over 46,000 scrap tires have been properly disposed through the Community Tire Collection Program since its inception in 2004.
