Where: Olympic View Transfer Station ONLY; 9300 SW Barney White Rd, Port Orchard, (near the Bremerton Airport)

The program is made available from the Washington State Department of Ecology to assist local governments with tire-related clean-up projects. The purpose is to clean up accumulations of old tires on people’s properties which create an eyesore and/or mosquito breeding grounds, or habitat for rodents.

The collection event is sponsored by Kitsap Count Public Works, Washington State Department of Ecology and Waste Management, Inc.
