The City of Perry is giving residents the opportunity to get rid of old or unneeded tires today.

A tire collection event is taking place today at the Perry Recycle Center from 8am until noon.

The first five car tires can be dropped off free of charge, after that it’s one dollar each.  Large truck and tractor tires can also be disposed of for $5 each.

This is a residential only event and not for businesses and all tires need to be removed from their rims.
