[March 27, 2008]
The Logan County Health Department, Logan
County Joint Solid Waste Agency, and Lincoln Street and Alley
Department are coordinating with the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency to sponsor a used tire collection day. The
collection will be April 5, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Logan
County Fairgrounds in Lincoln. Participants are asked to use the
Short 11th St. entrance (South Gate).
|
 The collection event will accept tractor, truck and passenger tires,
including those on the rim. Large industrial and off-road tires will
not be accepted. The maximum number of tires that an individual may
bring to the collection is limited to 1,000. All participants must
complete a "Consensual Removal Agreement" before any tires are
unloaded. These forms are available in advance of the collection day
at the Logan County Health Department, Logan County Farm Bureau,
Logan County USDA office and the Logan County Cooperative Extension
office. Individuals are encouraged to obtain forms in advance and
bring the completed forms to the collection site to expedite the
process.
Previous participants of used tire collection days in Illinois
are not eligible to participate in this event. Tires will not be
accepted from businesses such as tire dealers, gas stations,
commercial trucking companies or any other enterprise that will be
generating and accumulating used tires after the collection has
occurred. No used tires will be collected from vehicles having
license plates from outside the state of Illinois.
Logan County residents are encouraged to take this opportunity to
eliminate waste tires from their properties. Used tires are
unsightly and pose health hazards by providing breeding areas for
mosquitoes that can transmit West Nile virus.
If you have any questions about the used tire collection day,
contact the Logan County Health Department at 217-735-2317 or the
Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency at 217-732-9636.
