Waste Tires have become a big problem not only in Pennsylvania but around the world as well. Besides polluting the countryside, waste tires occupy valuable land that could be used more productively. Waste tires also pose a serious health risk when they lay around with water in them, as they are a breeding ground and home to mosquitoes which carry the West Nile Virus. SOURCE REDUCTION IS THE KEY!Susquehanna County Recycling Center has in the past periodically conducted Waste Tire Clean-up Programs. These programs are designed to clean up our countryside via collection of old inherited waste tire piles and roadside waste tire litter. These clean up programs are largely provided through grant funding. We, as a community, need to be proactive on disposing our tires and other HHW materials. Source reduction is the key to keeping America beautiful and minimizing HHW pollution. The following information is designed to help you properly dispose of your Waste Tires. DEP explains how you can help in the fight to keep waste tires from polluting Pennsylvania's countryside. When you purchase new tires, leave your used tires right here with the retailer-and here’s why!
