The Clinton County Solid Waste Management District hosted its annual Tire Amnesty Event on Saturday, April 24.
Local residents and communities were given the opportunity to recycle scrap tires that may have accumulated over time or been found deposited along roadsides and in public parks and 164 participants combined to collect just under 1,600 scrap tires, weighing over 23 tons.
Those tires were then delivered to an area processing facility where they will be recycled into pavers, running tracks, or used for civil engineering and other such purposes.
