Registered participants who are McHenry County residents may drop off passenger size and light truck size tires from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 22 at the McHenry County Division of Transportation, 16111 Nelson Road in Woodstock. The tires will be recycled by Liberty Tire Recycling.

  • Tires must be removed from the metal rim and free of water, mud and other debris.
