Toombs County's Tire Amnesty Week to start Monday

The City of Vidalia and Toombs County have teamed up with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to organize Scrap Tire Amnesty Week.

This initiative provides Toombs County residents with a cost-free opportunity to dispose of eligible scrap tires, aimed at reducing illegal dumping on public and private lands. The event commences on Monday, September 22, and concludes on Friday, September 26, at 4 p.m.

Tires may be disposed of from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Toombs County Landfill entrance, located on Hwy 15, next to Georgia Forestry in Lyons, Ga.

Passenger car and light truck tires will be accepted, as well as non-commercial semi-tractor trailer tires with no rims.

Please note that heavy equipment or skidder tires will not be taken. Additionally, tires from retail dealers or commercial entities, such as farmers or loggers, will not be accepted.
