As of Thursday, the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill will no longer accept tires.
Tires also won’t be accepted at the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George’s Shelley and McBride Regional Transfer Stations. Tire collection at the district’s other solid waste facilities will be phased out in July.
“The change is a result of a number of factors including space constraints and collection issues at the landfill and transfer stations,” a statement issued by the district on Thursday said. “Additionally, the change recognizes the many options available for used tire collection. In Prince George alone, there are more than 20 outlets that provide the ‘return to retailer’ service to accept old tires.”
Locations that accept old tires can be found on the Tire Stewardship of B.C. website at www.tsbc.ca.
