They appear as a single tire—or more often in stacks of two, three or four tires—hastily dumped along county roads in the dead of night. Reporter Mike Lipsitz has news of an effort this Saturday to get these eyesores out of our desert and into a recycling program…
When law-abiding people replace tires, they leave them with the tire shop for a small fee; the Landers landfill accepts tires for about $5.25 each; but a great number of tires are illegally discarded along our desert roads. This Saturday, March 7, County Code Enforcement and the Landers Association team up to get those discarded tires out of our communities and into a recycling program for free. Open to residents in the unincorporated areas in and around Landers, Saturday’s event takes place at Homestead Valley Park on Belfield Boulevard from 8 a.m. to noon. Residents are limited to bringing nine tires per load; tires with and without rims will be accepted. Please do not leave tires at the park before or after this even; no commercial haulers. Volunteers are needed; call 760-449-4048 for more information.
