Survey about waste tires may result in amnesty collection event

Old tires aren’t just an eyesore. They’re a fire hazard, and they can leach pollutants into the same waters our salmon depend on. Getting them out of yards and ditches is a small step that adds up to a real difference for our islands.

The Dept of Environmental Stewardship is considering a waste tire amnesty collection event in partnership with the Department of Ecology for private residents, which would help offset disposal costs.

Take the   2-minute survey to tell us how many tires you have and where you’re located (all islands are encouraged to respond): bit.ly/sjcwastetires
Please respond by July 31.
