Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Urban Beautification recognizes that tire disposal and recycling is an essential component in reducing blight in our community. The Tire Amnesty Program will address this city-wide problem, in cooperation with the Lucas County Solid Waste Management District, to provide City of Toledo residents an opportunity to properly recycle tires at a nominal cost of $.50 per tire. These grant dollars will be spread across several tire amnesty events from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, with the concentrated effort of recycling a large volume of material.
