From February 16 to 21, Point Reyes National Seashore is partnering with the Conservation Corps North Bay to host a free tire recycling collection. The collection will take place at two locations: Drakes Beach Parking Lot Bear Valley Trailhead Parking Lot The tire recycling collection is limited to the following:
Old tires left outdoors can pose a fire threat and provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes. One waste tire with accumulated water inside it can produce thousands of mosquitoes each year. This event can help reduce fire hazards and prevent mosquito breeding that could potentially transmit West Nile virus, encephalitis and other diseases. Collected tires will either be reused or recycled into crumb rubber, which can be used as an ingredient to produce new tires, flooring material, asphalt, and engineering products for road construction or erosion control.
