As a member of the Garrard County Solid Waste Committe, I've had several people ask me what the Waste Tire Amnesty program was and I've told them that it was an opportunity for people (not in the tire business) to get rid of their old tires, free of charge. It was held at the Kentucky State Highway Garage on Industry Road June 25th, 26th and 27th. Tires were separated into piles, those with rims and those without rims. Solid Waste Committee members volunteered to help S.W. Coordinator Chris Thomason with this project, the same way they volunteer to help with Free Dump Days.

a Mountain of Tires.
And how big was that mountain? Approximately 8,400 tires high, wide and ready to be recycled.
Saturday's volunteer crew, Solid Waste Committee Chair Person Becky Hacker (L) and Secretary Dorothy DeLong (R), take a minute's break to pose in front of "the mountain of tires" with State Road Department Heavy equipment operator employee.
