LAKE COUNTY – Due to recent low lake levels tires are being exposed in the lakebed, and the Lake County Public Services Department is offering a tire amnesty program to respond to the problem.

If tires are found in the lake, residents are able to dispose of up to nine passenger tires free of charge every month through the county’s tire amnesty program.

Please make sure to hose off most mud prior to bringing them to South Lake Refuse & Recycling, at the entrance to the Eastlake Landfill in Clearlake, or to Waste Solutions Recycling Yard at 230 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport.

In addition to lakeside residents, all county residents may dispose of up to nine tires a month free of charge through the tire amnesty program.

For more information regarding the tire amnesty program or any other solid waste issues in Lake County, call 707-262-1760 or visit our website at www.recycling.co.lake.ca.us .
