Illegally Dumped Tires Cause Problems
- Dumped tires provide a breeding ground for
mosquitoes and a habitat for rodents. - Tire fires are a huge environmental problem
because they burn for a long time and produce
dark black smoke containing toxic chemicals and
air pollutants.
- Buy products made from recycled tires whenever
possible for landscaping jobs. - Check tire pressure once a month. Proper inflation is critical for maximum tire life and good fuel economy.
