The Tire Amnesty event is being conducted as part of the “Grand Re-Opening” celebration for the  Victorville Recycling Drop-off Center, located at 15164 Anacapa Road in Victorville.

Residents can also drop off electronic wastes, TVs, computers, appliances, and scrap metal (except cars or parts), for free during this event.  There will also be giveaways, raffle prizes, and a free “Recycling Kit” to the first 100 attendees.  The kit includes an in-home recycling bin, reusable shopping bag, and a plastic bag recycler.

Tires collected during the round-up will be recycled as a fuel source for the cement industry.  For more information on the Tire Amnesty Day, residents should call the City of Victorville Recycling Program at 760-955-8615.
