Lake County residents are invited to help combat mosquito populations and keep the community clean by participating in Waste Tire Amnesty Day. Residents with photo I.D. and proof of address may dispose of up to 24 passenger car tires that measure 40 inches or less free of charge. Large commercial tires will not be accepted. Tires can be disposed of at the community cleanup event at Sorrento Park from 9 a.m. – noon or the Solid Waste Facility located at 13130 County Landfill Road, Tavares from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Residents are also encouraged to use the county’s Litter Reporter websitehttp://gis.lakecountyfl.gov/crowdsource/to help pinpoint areas in need of a cleanup. The Litter Reporter is viewable on mobile devices and desktop computers, and lets users submit data about a particular area, as well as attach corresponding photos. Keep Lake Beautiful will monitor submissions and propose cleanup efforts and community events as needed.
