Description
VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA – Volusia County residents will have the opportunity to dispose of unwanted tires at no cost while helping to reduce mosquito breeding habitats on their property. Volusia County Mosquito Control will host a free tire amnesty event from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, at its facility located at 801 South St., New Smyrna Beach.
Old tires left on a property can collect rainwater, creating the ideal environment for mosquitoes to breed. Even small amounts of standing water inside a tire can produce hundreds of mosquitoes in just a few days. Removing these unused tires is an effective way to help control mosquito populations.
The event is open to all Volusia County residents with proof of residency. Each household can bring up to 20 residential tires for proper disposal; commercial tires will not be accepted. To ensure a smooth process, staff will be on-site to direct drivers through a designated drive-thru drop-off route. Flags will mark the entrance, making it easy for residents to locate the event.
By participating in this initiative, residents can take an active role in mosquito prevention while responsibly disposing of unused tires. For more information on mosquito control efforts or to request service, visit www.volusia.org/mosquito.
