On Aug. 27, Richland County Farm Bureau volunteers worked with the Richland County Solid Waste Authority, Richland County Public Health Department and a tire recycling company to host a day for county residents to recycle tires for free. Over 200 people deposited about 3,750 total tires, which included 3,500 passenger tires, 100 tractor tires and 150 semi-truck tires. The event was held at the county fairgrounds where there was easy access and drive-thru capabilities to aid in traffic flow for people coming with loads of tires.
The tire amnesty event started at 8 a.m. and collected tires until noon or until the collection capacity was met. Vehicles lined up, and as they approached the recycling trailers, the tire recycling company used equipment to unload the tires and put in the proper trailers, so those who dropped off tires did not have to get out of their vehicles. Residents of the county had to show proof of residency and could only bring up to 10 tires per vehicle according to state law. Richland County Farm Bureau was instrumental in getting the event to accept tractor tires and semi truck tires for recycling.
Richland County Farm Bureau took action in our community, in support of a local policy, and made a positive impact on the issues of littering in our county’s rural landscape. This event also made recycling tires, which can be expensive, easy and affordable.
