If you live in Sarpy County and have old tires to get rid of you can do it at no cost on Saturday at the Sarpy Vounty Fairgrounds in Springfield.
Scrap tires can be dropped off at the south end of the fairgrounds at 142nd Street and Pflug Road on a first-come, first-served basis from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until 150 tons of scrap is reached
People will be required to provide a driver’s license or OPPD bill with an address to prove they live in Sarpy County.
There is no limit to the number of tires a person can bring, but participants will need to report the number of tires they are dropping off at check-in and where the tires came from. Rims and tubes won’t be accepted, nor will drop-offs from retailers. Participants have to unload their own tires.
To avoid traffic issues on South 144th Street/Highway 50, participants should not turn onto Pflug Road from South 144th Street/Highway 50. Instead, participants should approach the fairgrounds from the east. If traveling on South 144th Street/Highway 50, turn east onto Main Street, then south onto South 1st Street and finally west onto Pflug Road.
