The program is made possible through a grant from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. County officials have estimated about 115,000 tires have been recycled because of the program.

Tires may be dropped off between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. They should be loaded into the collection trailers. Dealers are not allowed to leave tires at the sheds.
