BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – The Bernalillo County Planning and Development Services, along with the City of Albuquerque Solid Waste and the New Mexico Tourism Department, are extending the free scrap tire amnesty days.
The initiative allows residents from unincorporated areas of Bernalillo County, outside the city limits, to turn in up to nine tires free of charge at designated times and locations. The next event is scheduled for Sunday, April 14, from 8 a.m. to noon at Pajarito Mesa Community Center, 9520 Pajarito Rd. SW. Tires from businesses will not be received.
“These events have generated an incredible response from the community. We are thankful to those that have participated, and we encourage other residents to take advantage of this free opportunity to dispose of unwanted tires,” Bernalillo County Planning and Development Services Director Nick Hamm stated in a news release.
The initiative kicked off last year. During the first nine events, 5,575 tires were collected. For a full list of upcoming events, click here.
