The Solid Waste District conducts tire recycling programs each year in the spring and fall for the residents of Vanderburgh County. These programs provide an environmentally proper method of disposal of used tires so that they are kept out of the landfill and are not illegally dumped. There is a $1 per tire fee for car & light truck tires. Semi tires are $10 and tractor tires are $25. Tires from businesses are not accepted. The District accepts an unlimited number of tires free of charge from neighborhood associations and other civic groups who collect unwanted tires from alleys, roadsides and ditches. 2011 PROGRAMS Civic Center Parking Lot 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon Friday, March 05 2010
