(Michigan City, IN) - Michigan City residents will be able to get rid of old tires at no cost for a short time later this month.
“Tire Amnesty Day” is being offered by the city on April 19 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Michigan City Sanitary District at 1100 E. 8th St.
According to the mayor’s office, the program is for Michigan City citizens only and a driver’s license must be presented to verify residency.
Each person will be allowed to dispose of up to five tires only from cars, sport utility vehicles and light trucks. Tires with rims will not be accepted.
The effort is aimed at reducing blight and litter from the improper disposal of tires and reducing the number of breeding grounds for mosquitoes and rodents, according to the mayor's office.
For more information, contact the sanitary district at (219) 874-7799.
