State Senator Patty Ritchie is reminding Jefferson County residents to take advantage of her upcoming “Tire Take Back” event to dispose of unwanted waste tires.
“Waste tires are not only unsightly, but can also act as a breeding ground for mosquitos that can carry sometimes deadly diseases like West Nile and EEE,” said Senator Ritchie. “I’m pleased to be working yet again with the Jefferson County Highway Department to offer this event to residents at no cost.”
Residents can bring their unwanted waste tires to the below location:
Saturday, June 10th
8am to 12pm
Town of Adams Highway Department
13269 Victory Lane, Adams Center
Jefferson County residents are encouraged to bring up to eight waste tires for disposal at no cost. Tractor tires will be accepted, but they must be quartered. Tires on rims will also be accepted.
Since 2013, more than 60,000 waste tires have been disposed of through Senator Ritchie’s “Tire Take Back” events across Central and Northern New York.
