WV DEP Sponsoring Tire Collection Programs

Agencies plan on reaching all 55 counties in the state this year.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and the state Division of Highways are sponsoring a series of tire collection events across the state.

 

Residents may dispose of a maximum of 10 tires per person with a West Virginia ID.  The tires must be off the rims. Only car and light truck tires 16 inches or less will be accepted. Haulers and businesses are not allowed to participate.

 

Over the next several months, tire collection events will be held in all 55 counties in the state.

 

The events are made possible through West Virginia’s REAP-The Next Generation initiative within DEP's Division of Land Restoration.  REAP brings together all of the state's cleanup programs to maximize the state's cleanup efforts.
