The City of Alliance is excited to announce the acceptance of the NDEE (Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy) Tire Amnesty Grant again this year. This grant funding allows the city to partner with Keep Alliance Beautiful and Nebraska Department of Roads to provide Box Butte County residents the ability to recycle tires free of charge.
This year’s event will be hosted at the City of Alliance Landfill, located at 1441 Kansas Street from Friday, March 31 – Friday, April 21. Hours of operation will be Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Closed Sunday.
Since the city met its limit so quickly last year, it will be allowing drop-offs according to the schedule below.
-
2-axle vehicles only – March 31 – April 7
-
4-axle vehicles only – April 7 – April 14
-
Open to all – April 14 – April 21
This year’s event is limited to Box Butte County residents only. There will be no charge for tires for the public during this time. No tires will be accepted from participants who have accepted fees to accumulate tires. Tires must be removed from their rims before being accepted. Amnesty will be discontinued after the qualified limit has been reached.
The city was fortunate to receive an increased amount of funding this year, allowing it to collect an estimated 800 tons versus the 500 tons collected last year.
