Need to get rid of tires or wheels from your car or light truck? The Independence Conservancy will hold affordable community tire collections in cooperation with the following municipalities this spring.

All collections are held on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

The collection events will be held--

-- April 27: Findlay Township Public Works Department, 1058 Clinton Rd., Clinton, PA 15126 (Allegheny County)

-- May 4: Ambridge Borough Building, 600 11th St., Ambridge, PA 15003 (Beaver County)

Tires on rims are acceptable. 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 $5 each; $10 if on-rim.

SUV and light truck tires 19” through 22” off-rim are $7 each.

Tractor trailer tires up to 22.5” are $25 each. Farm tractor rear tires up to 75 lbs. are $35 each; and over 75 lbs. are priced by weight.

Independence Conservancy offers community tire collections to provide convenient, affordable disposal of scrap tires, thus reducing the risk of West Nile, Zika and other diseases by eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.

Since 2004, Independence Conservancy has properly disposed of over 63,000 tires through this program, reinvesting all proceeds into clean water and open green space.

The Independence Conservancy is a nonprofit 501c3 land conservation and environmental stewardship organization active in Beaver, Washington and Allegheny Counties.
