The North Central RC&D, in cooperation with Keya Paha County and the Upper Elkhorn NRD, will be holding tire amnesty events in Springview and O'Neill, Nebraska, where residents can bring in unwanted tires for recycling at no cost. The events will take place over two days in late April and early June, accepting up to 400 tons in Springview and 700 tons in O'Neill.

Why it matters
