BRIEFLY IN THE NEWS

The city of Costa Mesa and the Costa Mesa Sanitary District will be

collecting old tires that will be recycled into new products.

Worn or discarded tires may be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

today at the city’s corporation yard, 2300 Placentia Ave., across from

Estancia High School.

Tires must be removed from wheels. Each resident can drop off a

maximum of four tires. Commercial businesses are not eligible to

participate.

Last year, 62 tires were collected in a similar roundup. The old tires

can be recycled and used as playground coverings for schools or for

rubberized asphalt.
