PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria’s Tireless Project launches it’s seasonal collection of tires this weekend.
Organizer Jim Kosner told WMBD News that the project, now in its seventh year, is run entirely by volunteers.
“What it was set up to do was to allow residents to get out, clean up their alley, their block or street, and bring their tires to us for free,” Kosner said.
The Tireless Project’s first collection of 2021 will be held Saturday, April 24, from 9-11 a.m., or until the trailer is full.
“You’re allowed to bring the first 10 tires for free, and then we ask for a $1.00 donation for every tire over that, with a maximum cap of 20 tires,” Kosner said.
The monthly tire collections are limited to Peoria residents only.
Customers need to bring proof of residency in the form of a driver’s license, state ID, or property tax statement.
Businesses are prohibited from participating.
Only passenger and truck tires 17″ or less will be accepted. No tires with rims will be allowed.
No oversized, commercial, or agricultural tires will not be accepted.
The Tireless Project’s next tire collection will be Saturday, May 22 from 9-11 a.m.
