From our friends at the Newaygo County BPW: On Saturday, June 15th the annual Scrap Tire Collection occurred. The event was held at the Newaygo County Road Commission from 8:00 am until noon. The purpose of this event is to collect unwanted scrap tires, clean up the county and dispose of tires in an appropriate manner. The event was sponsored by The County of Newaygo. This event is on behalf of the Newaygo County Board of Public Works and coordinated by Drain Commissioner, Dale Twing, and his staff. An EGLE grant for funding is applied for and managed by the Drain Office. The grant funding is applied for in the fall for the next year. We want to recognize the following participants: The County of Newaygo, Newaygo County Road Commission and their staff, American Classic, and the individual volunteers at the event. Without collaboration this event would not have occurred. There were over 225 participants that brought tires during the four-hour event. The 16 volunteers unloaded and stacked thousands of tires. The 2023 event filled seven semi-trailers with tires. The 2024 event is anticipated to exceed last year’s total. Thank you to everyone that participated.
