Do you have some old tires you don’t know what to do with? We are holding a tire amnesty event on March 15 from 10am to 12noon at the Linmoor Education Center parking lot! Columbus residents may come and bring up to ten tires for free recycling. Properly recycling tires is important to keep them out of our streams, waterways, and other natural areas, keeping them out of our landfill, and reducing breeding grounds for mosquitoes!

But we are fighting back.
