These include foam-filled, calcium-filled, and off-road construction tires, as well as tires with beads greater than 1¾ inches. Additionally, tires will not be accepted from retailers, recyclers, or salvage yards, as the event is primarily aimed at helping local residents dispose of personal waste tires.The initiative is sponsored by the Kentucky Division of Waste Management and serves as an important step toward reducing environmental hazards associated with improperly disposed tires.For more information, residents are encouraged to contact the Garrard County Courthouse at 859-792-3531.</div></body>
