Brevard County officials have announced plans for Tire Amnesty Days, allowing residents to dispose of used tires without fees. The event aims to reduce illegal tire dumping and promote proper waste management. Specific dates and locations will be announced soon, according to county spokesperson Lisa Martinez. "This is a chance for residents to get rid of tires responsibly," Martinez said. "We’re seeing more tires in landfills and along roadsides, and this helps address that." The program is part of a broader effort to clean up the county’s environment. Local waste management director John Carter emphasized the importance of the initiative. "Tires take decades to decompose," Carter said. "Every tire we remove keeps our community safer and cleaner." Residents are encouraged to bring up to four tires per vehicle to designated collection sites. The amnesty days will operate in partnership with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. So far, three collection sites have been identified, though exact locations remain pending. County officials say the event is expected to run for several weeks, with details to be shared via the Brevard County website and social media. Environmental groups have praised the move, noting that improper tire disposal can lead to pollution and habitat damage. "This is a practical step toward sustainability," said Maria Lopez of the Brevard Environmental Alliance. "It’s good to see the county taking action." Residents with questions are advised to contact the county’s waste management office directly.
