The tire amnesty is underway at the city property east of Valentine High School. Vehicles were lined up before 8AM with the gates opening at 9.
There has been a line of vehicles on Green Street backed up to the Fairgrounds gates. We do not have an estimated tonnage at this time as it has been too busy for workers to tabulate those numbers. When they get to the 200 ton, mark it will be shut down. Free will donations are accepted to help offset the cost of the program that is not covered by the state grant. The North Central RC&D working with the Middle Niobrara NRD are organizing the project.
