A handful of communities in the Southern Interior will be hosting used tire collection events this spring, summer and fall.
Own a vehicle? If so, collection events for used tires are now beginning to pop up throughout B.C.’s Southern Interior.
Tire Stewardship BC says the events will feature free drop-offs but are for residential quantities only. “Most drivers return their old tires at a retailer when they purchase new ones,” says Tire Stewardship BC, which notes that more than 90 per cent of tires in the province are recycled. “But if you have up to four tires sitting around, you can get started right away.”It added that every tire can be recycled into something new, such as recreational flooring, landscaping mulch, playground or athletic surfaces and truck-bed liners.The first drop-off will be in Grand Forks this weekend, May 4, at Integra Tires on Central Avenue, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.Tire Stewardship BC also notes that most tires have a disposal fee of around $6.50.
