Join us for the 4th annual Tractor Tire Drive! We are partnering with the Washtenaw County Materials Management Division on November 2nd from 9am-12pm at Freedom Township Hall to collect agricultural tires from all over Washtenaw County. Since its inception, this tire drive has collected over 500 tractor tires from the agricultural community, preventing them from leaching chemicals into groundwater and reducing the breeding grounds for mosquitoes. This year we are accepting a total of 6 Tractor Tires or 12 Semi Tires. Registration is required. 
Make a difference!
