BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Tuesday, the City of Battle Creek will be hosting a scrap tire collection for local citizens at no charge.
Citizens of Battle Creek are encouraged to dispose of unwanted tires through the program. City officials say rims must be removed from the tires, and commercial business tires will not be accepted.
Oversized tires, such as tractor, semi-trailer, and loader tires will also not be accepted.
Citizens are also warned that only ten tires per vehicle will be accepted, as any more than ten requires a registration through the State of Michigan.
