Marshall County residents can dispose of waste tires free of charge this Saturday, thanks to a $10,000 grant the Indiana Department of Environmental Management awarded to the Marshall County Solid Waste Management District.

The funds will support a Tire Amnesty Day on Saturday, October 3rd, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Recycle Depot, 1900 Walter Glaub Drive, Plymouth.

The event is open to all Marshall County residents who need to dispose of passenger car, light truck, and SUV tires. Residents may bring up to 10 tires per drop-off at no charge with proof of county residency. Tires must be in one piece and off the rim to be accepted.

Organizers note that the amnesty event is intended for households with waste tires or tires from a county dump site — not for commercial entities, fleet vehicles, or farm equipment. The Recycle Depot will not accept out-of-county tires or commercial, business, or tractor tires at this event.

For those who miss the October 3rd event, the Recycle Depot accepts car and light-truck tires year-round during regular business hours for $5 per tire, with a limit of five tires per visit.
