Tire Amnesty Day occurs this Saturday, March 28 from 8:00 am – noon at the Paul Tyson Football Field on Lake Air drive. Residents of McLennan County (with proof of residency) may bring up to 8 tires for free disposal. Tires must be off rims and less than 34” in diameter. More than 8 tires, tires with rims, or tires between 35 and 50 inches can also be disposed of, but there is a fee. No tires over 50” or Over the Road (OTR) loader/grader tires will be accepted
Volunteers of all ages are welcome but all have to fill out a release form at the site. They will help address the cars, get information (toughest job), and unload the tires (dirtiest job). It is recommended volunteers wear long pants and bring gloves. If you are interested in volunteering or have students who are interested, please contact the following person:

Did you know…?
As part of the LEED platinum certification for MCC’s new Emergency Services Education Center will be a photovoltaic solar panel array that will produce 47 Kilowatts of electricity. This electricity will provide 12.5% of the electrical requirement for the facility. During weekends and holidays when the building is not in use, the energy produced by the solar array will be sold back to the commercial power grid basically reversing the charge on our power bill and saving the college money.
