The free service, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be at the Environmental Services Bureau, 2929 E. Willow St.

Tires cannot be disposed of in landfills and pose a threat to public health, safety and the environment, according to city officials.
 
No hazardous waste is allowed. No rims and only five tires or less per car. For more details, visit www.longbeach-recycles.org or call 562.570.4694.
