It’s Tire Collection time again in Lamar County! On Saturday, May 31, Keep Paris Beautiful/Make Lamar County Shine will host their annual Tire Collection Event at 220 North Main, East of the Lamar County Courthouse Parking Lot.
“Keep Paris Beautiful/Make Lamar County Shine is proud to again partner with the Lamar County Judge and Commissioners, the Ark-Tex Council of Governments (ATCOG), the United Way of Lamar County, and the Lamar County Adult Probation Department for this popular community event” said Julia Trigg Crawford, KPB Executive Director. “Thanks to the generous financial support from Lamar County, ATCOG and the United Way, this collection day is free of charge for all area residents”.
This free event starts at 8 am and will run until 11 am, or whenever the last trailer is full.
All Lamar County residents are encouraged to gather up those old tires that litter their neighborhoods and yards, and come drop them off. Personal car, ATV, and pickup truck tires will be accepted, and rims must be removed. You don’t even have to leave your car as crews will be there to unload the tires for you. Participating vehicles should get in line on 1st Street Northeast near Pine Bluff.
No 18 Wheeler or tractor tires will be accepted, and commercial businesses cannot participate.
Lamar County Precinct 1 Commissioner Alan Skidmore said, we encourage everyone to gather up those old tires, and bring them by early on the 31st. Last year we nearly filled up 3 trailers by 10 am, and we hope to do as well again this year.”
