The Manitowoc County Recycling Center is now accepting tires.
The program is known as the Manitowoc County Waste Tire Collection and will run through October.
Residents and businesses can drop off tires for a fee at the Manitowoc County Recycling Center during normal office hours.
The unwanted tires will be repurposed in several ways, including being shredded into rubber chips for artificial turf or playground underground covers.
Tire rubber can also be incorporated into asphalt roads and running tracks and used in other rubber products, and, depending on the tire, it may also be used as tire-derived fuel at permitted facilities.
More information, including the fee rates, can be found online at Recycling.ManitowocCountyWI.gov.
You can also call the Recycling Center office at 920-683-4333.
