Santa Cruzans Can Offload Tires This Summer

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Santa Cruz residents can drop off up to nine tires per household, per day this summer at a tire drive.

The drive will kick off Saturday at the City of Santa Cruz Resource Recovery (605 Dimeo Lane). Tires can also be dropped off from Aug. 1 to 7. Bring tires from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Resource Recovery is closed Sundays.

Tires must be under three feet in diameter.

Recycling tires can reduce environmental hazards and eliminate a common mosquito habitat, as water may pool inside and serve as a safe place for the pests to lay their eggs.
