The Lyon County and the Kentucky Division of Waste Management are hosting the 2018 Waste Tire Collection Days at the Kentucky Department of Highways Lyon County Maintenance Facility on April 5-7.
Lyon County, in cooperation with the Kentucky Division or Waste Management, is sponsoring the waste tire collection event to allow area residents a chance to dispose of waste tires at no charge. You do not have to be a Lyon County resident to participate.
Area residents can bring waste tires to the Kentucky Department of Highways Maintenance Facility at 381 Highway 373, Eddyville, on Thursday and Friday, April 5 and 6 from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on Saturday, April 7, from 7 a.m., to 1 p.m.
Area residents can bring farm implement, bicycle, motorcycle, go-cart, ATV, tractor, truck, or passenger vehicle tires. They can be on or off the rim.
The waste tire collection excludes foam filled, calcium filled, off-road construction tires, and rubber tracks. It also excludes any tire with a bead greater than 1.25 inches.
The tire waste collection is available at no charge to residents of Lyon and other surrounding counties. It specifically excludes tire retailers and salvage yards.
