Hall County residents get a free pass for tire disposal during Tire Amnesty Days

Hall County residents looking to dispose of old tires can do so free of charge on Thursday, April 17, and Friday, April 18, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hall County Landfill, located at 1700 Oakbrook Drive in Gainesville.

Tire Amnesty Days are offered exclusively to Hall County residents. A grant from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) covers all costs, allowing residents to dispose of up to 10 tires for free.

"Tire Amnesty Days are an excellent way for our citizens to legally and safely dispose of old tires," Hall County Solid Waste Superintendent Nathan Smith said. "This program also helps keep our roadways safe by keeping tires from being left behind on the side of the road or in other various locations around the County."

Tires must be 20 inches or less in diameter and not attached to a wheel. Tractor-trailer, farm and agricultural tires will not be accepted.

Vehicles with more than 10 tires will be charged for overages, and car tags will be recorded to limit the number of tires per vehicle.
