Water Quality District - Hazardous Waste
Tires
What is the Problem?
Disposing
of tires on private property, or public lands creates hazards and is
unsightly. When left outside, tires can provide a breeding place for
mosquitoes. Mosquitos can carry
West Nile Virus. Stockpiled tires also present a potential fire
hazard. Properly dispose of old tires to eliminate this potential
mosquito habitat and fire hazard.
Disposal Options
Recycle:
- If repair is not an option, bring old tires to the place of purchase.
