LAKE COUNTY >> The Tire Amnesty Program will begin on Aug. 29 for Lake County residents. The County of Lake Public Services Department has received grant funding from CalRecycle to support this program.
Tire Amnesty provides Lake County residents the ability to drop off up to nine passenger tires with or without rims at two locations around the lake free of charge while funding lasts. There will be a charge for oversized passenger tires. The tire amnesty does not apply to commercial, farm or heavy equipment tires.
California law prohibits anyone from hauling more than nine tires without a permit. If you have tires bigger than 8R19.5 or more than nine tires, call 263-1980 for additional information.
Customers are asked to show proof of residency and sign a form showing the number and origin of the tires. No commercial tire, auto repair or salvage businesses are allowed.
Tires can be delivered to either South Lake Refuse & Recycling at the entrance to the Eastlake Landfill on Davis Street in Clearlake or to Lake County Waste Solutions at 230 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport.
Contact the Public Services Department Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 262-1618 for more information.
