The OARA Tire Take Back event is a six-day tire recycling blitz, hosted by Ontario Auto Recyclers Association (OARA) and its members and Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS), with support from registered tire haulers and processors. The event’s goal is to not only recycle thousands of used tires across the province, but through these efforts, raise funds for The Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

This year the recycling event has added the support and involvement of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA). Residents and farmers with old tires they want to have recycled can take them in to over 60 participating OARA auto recyclers, and the recycler will donate any Collector fees they normally receive from OTS. In addition, participating Haulers will also contribute a portion of the fees they normally receive. On average a donated passenger or light truck tire will generate about $1.70 and an agricultural tire will generate $6 per tire.

Over the last five years, the Tire Take Back events have raised more than $820,000 for The Sunshine Foundation, and collected an astounding 330,000 tires. This year The Sunshine Foundation is challenging communities this year is to help raise more than $100,000 for the organization. Funds raised go towards supporting dreams for kids living with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses.
