4th annual Tractor Tire Drive

From Washtenaw County Conservation District

Join us for the 4th annual Tractor Tire Drive! We are partnering with the Washtenaw County Materials Management Division on Saturday, November 2, from 9am to noon at Freedom Township Hall, 11508 E Pleasant Lake Rd, to collect agricultural tires from all over Washtenaw County. Since its inception, this tire drive has collected over 500 tractor tires from the agricultural community, preventing them from leaching chemicals into groundwater and reducing the breeding grounds for mosquitoes. This year we are accepting a total of 6 Tractor Tires and 12 Semi Tires. Suggested donation is $25 per tire dropped off but any donation is appreciated. Registration is required online or by phone by calling (734) 302-8715. For questions about this event, please contact Nick Machinski, Conservation Technician, at nick@washtenawcd.org.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
