The Somerset County Division of Solid Waste Management is partnering with the Somerset County Road Department to collect scrap tires.  County farmers and residents can drop off used tires at the Peapack Garage, located at 5 Holland Ave. Tires, with or without rims, will be accepted Monday, April 19 through Friday, April 23, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.  The program is free and residents may drop off up to eight tires per household. The drop-off program is funded through a grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection. Proper disposal of tires benefits communities. Scrap tires have the potential to collect standing water and attract mosquitoes, which may carry the West Nile virus. For more information, contact Somerset County Recycling Coordinator Melissa Harvey at (908) 231-7109 or harvey@co.somerset.nj.us.
