the drive has collected 100 tons of tires from the agricultural community, preventing
them from leaching chemicals into groundwater, and reducing the breeding grounds for
mosquitoes.
Registration for the event is required as space is limited and there is a drop off
maximum of up to 6 tractor tires or 12 semi tires per operation. Tires left outside of
drop off hours may result in the cancellation of future tire drive events.
If you are interested in dropping off your large agricultural tires, you can register

and see what we have baked for you.”
