St. Lawrence County residents to have chance to dispose of old tires at no cost

Posted

St. Lawrence County residents will have two places to go on Saturday to dispose of old tires for free.

Waste tires may be dropped off between 8 a.m. and noon Sept. 27 at the Ogdensburg Transfer Station, 522 County Rt. 28A, the Arnold-Wagner Road, and at the Gouverneur Solid Waste Transfer Station, 1831 US Highway 11.

Each household will be permitted to dispose of up to eight tires, with the usual $15 fee being waived. Tractor tires will be accepted, but must be cut in quarters.

The events is being run by the St. Lawrence County Highway Department with the help of 48th District State Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-Heuvelton).

The events are aimed at cleaning up St. Lawrence County, preventing the spread of illnesses by eliminating tires that breed disease carrying insects and protecting the environment, according to the announcement from Sen. Ritchie’s office.

“My free waste tire disposal events provide a great opportunity to help clean up our community, prevent the spread of disease and keep St. Lawrence County beautiful,” said Ritchie.
