Adrian, MI – Lenawee County residents have an additional opportunity to recycle unwanted passenger vehicle tires for a nominal fee in August.
The event will be Thursday, August 17th from 1 pm – 5 pm at the Lenawee County Recycling Drop-Off Site located at 307 River Street, Adrian.
The Lenawee County Solid Waste Department says that tires collected at the event will be recycled into materials such as playground and landscape applications, rubberized asphalt road projects, in-fill material for synthetic athletic fields, and rubber chips for septic fields and other engineered projects.
Residents are encouraged to dispose of old tires when purchasing new tires at the retailer.
• This program is for Lenawee County residents only
• Residents are allowed to bring up to 10 tires per vehicle
• Clean passenger vehicle and light truck tires will be collected for $2 each
• Motorcycle tires for $1 each
• Tires from commercial sources will not be accepted
• Leaving tires after hours is illegal dumping, which is a punishable offense
The drop-off is funded by a grant from the Scrap Tire Cleanup Project through The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
