Celebrate a clean community in Northumberland County Saturday, April 29, from 9:00 am-Noon at the Tire Amnesty Day Tire Disposal event being held at Northumberland Middle School (175 Academic Ln, Heathsville). The deets:
- Personal vehicle tires ONLY
- No tire rims
- Four tires per person limit
- Northumberland County residents ONLY; bring proof of residency
The event addresses one of the needs in the community identified by the Northumberland County Anti-Litter Committee. The committee conducted research and a tire recycling event emerged as one of four action items to be addressed by the committee. Other action items are to promote a Clean County Culture, where it is deemed unacceptable to litter; recruit more individuals, groups, and businesses to Adopt-a-Highway; and implement a Cover Your Load education initiative. Learn more in Anti-Litter_Committee_Action_Items (PDF).
To learn more about the committee or become involved with one or more of their initiatives, their regular meetings are held January through November on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Northumberland Public Library Meeting Room in Heathsville at 4:30 pm.
