Retire your Unwanted Tires

Back by popular demand, the Regional District of Central Okanagan is hosting the annual free tire collection event. Residents across the region are invited to drop off any old or unused tires on or off rims that may create a habitat for mosquitoes as they collect standing water. The event is free of charge and there is no limit on the number of tires individuals can drop off.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Okanagan College at 1000 KLO Road, Kelowna in parking lot #17.
This is the seventh year that the regional district and its mosquito program contractor Duka Environmental Services Ltd are teaming up with Tire Stewardship BC for this free event.
Tire Stewardship BC is a not-for-profit society that manages BC’s tire recycling program. Eco fees paid by consumers purchasing tires are used to pay for transporting and recycling scrap tires in environmentally responsible ways rather than having them take up space in landfills.
