Spring and Fall

​

Used tires are a huge source of pollution in the Jacobs Creek Watershed and across the country. Costs associated with proper disposal of tires makes them one of the most common items in illegal dump sites. Buried in the dirt or bottom of a lake or river, tires take many years to break down and release hazardous chemicals into the soil, air, and water in the process. On land, the hollow interior of tires also collect stagnant rainwater, providing the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that can carry diseases like West Nile Virus.

Not only is dumping tires illegal and environmentally irresponsible, but it also wastes the limited natural resources used to manufacture tires, driving up prices for each new tire produced.

​

To get tires out of our watershed, JCWA has partnered with Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling , Mongell Tire Service, and others  to provide a FREE disposal service for used and discarded tires. Members of the public can bring up to 8 tires per person to Michael Brothers in Mt. Pleasant during one of our events, and we’ll handle the rest!
