Road to Recycling Entering Second Phase
- Updated: July 14, 2017
The Road to Recycling Regional Tire Collection Project was successfully initiated on Saturday, June 24th collecting over 7,000 tires at 30 sites across the Valley.
Round 2 of the Road to Recycling Regional Tire Collection Project will occur on Saturday, July 15th.
Collection site map for July 15th tire drop-off locations will be available on Monday, July 10th. Cameron, Hidalgo & Willacy County residents may drop off up to 4 tires per person (*proof of RGV residency may include utility bill, driver’s license, etc)
The Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council’s Road-to-Recycling regional tire collection project addresses the problem of illegally dumped tires throughout the lower valley.
All three counties with the cooperation of several cities throughout the region are participating.
Illegal tire disposal has been a rampant problem in Texas for many years, providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes as well as posing an environmental and health hazard.
More information can be found on the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council’s website or by calling them at (956) 682-3481.
