The details are still being worked out, but Ellis County is planning a tire amnesty program at the landfill.

Public Works Administrator Mike Graf says the county will designate a couple of weeks when residents will be allowed to get rid of tires. The limit will likely be ten, and anyone with more than that can contact the county for an inspection so the source of the tires can be identified.

County officials say the program has merit, but they don’t want to be overwhelmed. Graf says he’s planning the tire amnesty in April.
