Tire Disposal Day set for September 24

Navarro County and the City of Corsicana are partnering up once again to offer a Tire Disposal Day to local residents. The event is scheduled for September 24 at the Navarro County Precinct 1 Barn. The facility is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of highway 31 and FM 2555. The program will begin at 7 am and conclude at 2 pm.

Only tires will be accepted on this day and that can include passenger, truck and tractor tires. A fee of $1.00 per tire (NO EXCEPTIONS) will be charged to help offset the escalating costs of this program. There are several General Rules and Regulations that will apply and residents are expected to be familiar with these stipulations prior to attending the event:

1. You MUST be a Navarro County Resident to dump at the Tire Disposal Event.
2. Residents MUST present a drivers license to validate county or city residency.
3. All loads MUST be firmly secured to trucks and/or trailers according to TCEQ regulations.
4. ABSOLUTELY NO commercial tire dealers or haulers will be allowed to dispose of tires and those that attempt to come through the line WILL be turned away.
5. Assistance will be available to unload tires.

If you have questions about this event please call 903-654-3075. This event is made possible by Navarro County, City of Corsicana, Trinity River Authority – Clean Rivers Program, Tarrant Regional Water District and other local sponsors and volunteers.
