                     Tires - $5.00 each

Residents must show proof of residency and payments only by debit/credit card (no cash accepted). No commercial entities will be allowed to utilize this facility, including no automated dump trailers.

Hours of operation: Monday - Friday 09:00AM to 03:00PM, Saturday 09:00AM to 01:00PM.
