Tire recycling event Sept. 16

A free tire recycling day will be held on September 16 as part of the Community Recycling/Clean-Up Day coordinated by Keep Fallbrook Clean and Green.

The Department of Environmental Health of the County of San Diego is sponsoring the tire recycling event, to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the south parking area of Fallbrook High School, 1050 Winterhaven Road.

The county is not able to accept tires with rims or wheels; the tires must be reasonably clean of dirt and no larger than 16.5 inches inside diameter. Only residential tires will be processed and only nine tires per vehicle can be accepted. If you have more than nine tires, please call 1-877-R-1-EARTH.

Also on September 16 is the community-wide clean-up, jointly sponsored by I Love a Clean San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper, from 8 a.m. to noon. Volunteers can sign in beginning at 8 a.m. at the parking lot behind the Art & Cultural Center.

Keep Fallbrook Clean and Green is also coordinating two other complimentary activities on the same day: an e-waste drop-off site at the parking lot behind the Art & Cultural Center and a paper shredding event at the same location. The e-waste collection is being handled by 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Paper shredding provided by Shred-It.
