Information:

The NCMCD's Used Tire Recycling Program has been inspired and shaped by fellow mosquito control workers at Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control. One of the goals in Integrated Mosquito Management is source reduction, and abandoned used tires, unfortunately, serve as habitat for container breeding mosquito species. Used tire piles are often overlooked in mosquito control programs because they do not appear in mapping databases like wetlands and vernal pools do; so the threat of potential mosquito-borne diseases increases in the surrounding area if the situation is not remedied. In addition to removing these mosquito habitats, this is also cleaning up the environment.

Requirements for Program Eligibility:

(a) Must be a resident or municipal official within our member communities (Foxborough is included)

(b) tires must be passenger and light truck tires (off-rim only),

(c) maximum of 10 of tires per household per calendar year

Tires accepted as part of this program will be sent to an approved facility for recycling. This program will comply with all state and federal solid waste regulations, as well as all local fire codes. This program is subject to end without notice.
