This is a great
chance to get that old tire out of your garage! Residents from
the Blackstone Valley’s cities and towns are encouraged to bring
tires that they may have on their property. Disposal of rimless
tires are free and tires with rims are $2.50 each, used to help
fund the Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful program. This
collection is for residents only and is not open to businesses.
Passenger tires from cars and light trucks will be accepted for
recycling. No commercial truck tires will be accepted.
This event is
sponsored by Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful, Firestone
Complete Auto Care in Pawtucket Town of Smithfield and Bill’s
Auto Parts.
