Residents of Hall County will be allowed to throw away old tires for free on Thursday, April 17, and Friday, April 18, at the Hall County Landfill at 1700 Oakbrook Drive in Gainesville.
Hall County officials said the Tire Amnesty Days will be offered to Hall County residents from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A Georgia Environmental Protection Division grant covers all costs, allowing residents to dispose of up to 10 tires for free.
“Tire Amnesty Days are an excellent way for our citizens to legally and safely dispose of old tires,” Hall County Solid Waste Superintendent Nathan Smith said. “This program also helps keep our roadways safe by keeping tires from being left behind on the side of the road or in other various locations around the County.”
Tires must be 20 inches or less in diameter and not attached to a wheel.
They will not accept tractor-trailer, farm and agricultural tires.
Vehicles with ten tires or more will be charged for overages, and car tags will be recorded to limit the number of tires per vehicle.
