Tire Amnesty Success in Springview

Over 350 tons of scrap tires were accumulated during the two day tire amnesty event in Springview on Tuesday and Thursday. Over 250 tons were dropped off on Tuesday and another 100 tons on Wednesday at the old airport in Springview.   The goal for the event was a maximum of 400 tons.  Champlin Tire recycling from Concordia Kansas will begin removing the tires which will be transformed into park benches, picnic tables, patio tables and more.

The North Central RC&D will host a second tire amnesty event in O’Neill on June 9th and 10th at the recycling center.  This event will also be open to all six counties served by the RC&D, including Cherry County. For more information call 402-340-1530 or visit the website at northcentralrcd.com.
