  • 2025 Tire Tractor Drive

    Do you have tractor tires to recycle? Register today to drop them off at our 5th Annual Tractor Tire Drive event in partnership with Washtenaw County Materials Management Division!
    This year’s collection event will be held on December 6th, and registration is required to participate. Recycling your tires helps prevent stagnant water that breeds mosquitoes and stops harmful chemicals from leaching into the soil and water.
