Tire Drop-Off Available to Somerset County Farmers & Residents
May 19-23 in Peapack
The Somerset County Division of Solid Waste Management is partnering with the Somerset County Road Department to collect old scrap tires, with or without rims.
County farmers and residents will be able to drop off used tires at the Peapack Garage, located at 5 Holland Ave. in Peapack. Tires, with or without rims, will be accepted between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday, May 19, through Friday, May 23.
There is no charge to county residents, although there is a limit of eight tires per household. The drop-off program is funded through a grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Proper disposal of tires benefits our communities and by taking advantage of this free service, residents and farmers will be removing unwanted items from their property that have the potential to collect standing water and attract mosquitoes, which may carry the West Nile virus.
Tires also may be dropped off at the county Recycling Center, located at 40 Polhemus Lane in Bridgewater, as part of the First Saturday of the Month drop-off program. If you miss the tire drop-off date in May, the next First Saturday Drop-off will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 2.
