The Michigan Department of
Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has awarded more than $1.2 million
in grants to fund 72 community scrap tire drop-off events and other tire
cleanups across the state. Additionally, five grant projects will fund the
removal of old tire piles at private properties.
Community events provide
affordable, convenient, tire recycling opportunities to residents, including
the creation of yearlong collection sites and roadside pickups, according to an EGLEnews release. Recycled scrap tires will be used in asphalt to pave roads, as
mulch in gardens and playgrounds and in manufacturing processes.
