Illinois County Offers Tire Recycling Event
It has been two years since Vermilion County residents were last able to recycle old tires in the county. But the county has partnered with Keep Vermilion Beautiful and the Illinois EPA to provide a free tire recycling event on September 3.
The event will take place at the Vermilion County Fairgrounds from 8 a.m-3 p.m. The last collection recycled over 16,000 tires.
Different types of tires that will be accepted include car tires, truck tires and farm tires. Industrial tires will not be accepted. Residents are allowed to bring up to 200 tires, but should be prepared to unload and stack them.
Tires aren’t the only part of your car that can be recycled. Check out Earth911′s automotive section to learn about other car parts that are recyclable.
