Dearborn Offers Free Tire Disposal Event

DEARBORN, MI — Got old tires you need to get rid of? Residents may dispose of unwanted tires for free from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the DPW Yard, 2951 Greenfield.

There is a limit of seven tires per each vehicle visiting the DPW Yard for this disposal event, organizers say. No tires from commercial sources will be accepted.

This program is offered in conjunction with Wayne County. Tires dropped off at this event will be properly prepared for recycling.

This event also coincides with the standard bulk disposal drop offs that DPW hosts on most third Saturdays.

In Dearborn, tires are not accepted at the curbside or Household Hazardous Waste Collections. This is the only time in 2018 that they will be accepted at the DPW Yard, city officials said.
