Independence Conservancy To Host 3 Tire Collection Events In Allegheny, Beaver Counties Starting Sept. 20

The Independence Conservancy will hold three tire recycling events in Allegheny and Beaver counties starting September 20.

Old tires are a problem - what do you do with them? Piles of tires are ugly and can pose health, safety and fire hazards. 

Scrap tires hold water which breeds mosquitoes that can carry diseases like Zika and West Nile Viruses.

Tire collection events will be held from 9:00 a.m. to Noon--

-- September 20: Crescent Township, Crescent Twp. Fire Dept., 225 Spring Run Rd., Crescent Twp., Allegheny County;

-- September 27: Brighton Township, Brighton Twp. Road Department, 1250 Brighton Road, Beaver, Beaver County; and

-- October 11: Southside Beaver County, Hookstown Fair Grounds, 1198 State Route 168, Hookstown.
