» Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops merger: What’s going on now?
“Illegal dumpsites are an eyesore, a nuisance, and a breeding ground for pests that can carry disease,” said Montgomery County Commission President Dan Foley. “Our Tire Buyback offers an incentive for citizens to clean up dump sites, beautify their neighborhoods, and protect public health. This is a win-win for local jurisdictions, which are normally stuck footing the bill for cleaning up scrap tires and illegal dumpsites.”
All tires collected at the event will be shredded and recycled, and then used to make playground mulch, landfill liner and other materials. In 2016, the county collected 13,320 tires, weighing about 160 tons. More than 1,300 vehicles passed through the event.
