The Tire Round Up Program will allow Block Captains, Community/civic/town watch organizations & Partnership Recycling Groups to recycle illegally used tires. Registered participants receive a “bounty” of $.50 for illegally discarded tired they collect and drop off to designated sites (max $500/resident). Collections will take place on Saturdays from July 21 through August 25th from 9 AM through 3 PM. To register for the program, call Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (PMBC) at 215-685-3981, but you MUST register by Friday, July 6th.
Since the program began in 1995, the city has collected around 240,000 tires. Tires from auto repair shops, mechanic shops, car dealers & private storage will NOT be accepted at drop off sites.
