As you’re spring cleaning that garage or shed and find some old tires that you don’t need… you’re invited to dispose of them during the City of Perry’s annual tire collection event Saturday.

City Administrator Butch Niebuhr encourages all area residents to take advantage of this opportunity.  He says in addition to getting rid of clutter, tires can pose a health concern because they are often breading grounds for mosquitoes.

Residents can drop off up to five car tires free of charge at the Perry Recycling Center between 9am and noon Saturday.

Additional tires can be disposed of for $1 each, while large truck and tractor tires will be charged $5 each.

All tires must be removed from rims before being dropped off and the event is for residential use only.

Anyone with questions can call City Hall at 465-2481.
