11 - 15, 2023. The hours of the event will be 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM from Monday
to Thursday and 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Friday. The program providing for this
event is funded through the Solid Waste Trust Fund, which is itself is funded by
a fee on the sale of new tires in Georgia. The Environmental Protection Division’s
Recovered Materials Unit administers the Scrap Tire Abatement Reimbursement
Program (STAR) to assist local governments with the safe removal and recycling
of scrap tires.
This event is open to the public for Montgomery County residents only. The drop
off site for the event will be located at the Montgomery County Solid Waste Cen
ter, 300 Earth Saver Drive, Ailey, Georgia 30410. Earth Saver Drive is located next
to the Georgia Forestry Commission’s Office on U.S. Highway 280 east of Ailey.
The public will need to follow certain rules when dropping off scrap tires at the
event site. Car and truck tires will be accepted, as well as AT V (all-terrain vehicle)
tires. A limited number of commercial truck tires will be accepted. Ten commer
cial truck tires will be accepted per household address. The County reserves the
right to stop accepting commercial tires during the event. No heavy equipment
tires such as skidder tires will be accepted. All tires must be dismounted from any
wheels and free of debris. County staff will be available to assist the public at the
drop-off site.
Again, this event is only for the public, not for commercial businesses. Proof of
residency, such as a driver’s license or current utility bill, will be required to dis
pose of tires for free during the amnesty event.
