Liberty Tire Recycling applauds recent progress made in DeKalb County, GA, to craft legislation curbing improper tire disposal.
Illegally dumped tires are "plaguing residential neighborhoods and business districts across the county, causing environmental, public health and public safety challenges," according to DeKalb Policy Analyst Marcus Allen.

Liberty is proud to serve as a statewide tire recycling partner. We look forward to working with the DeKalb County community to tackle this growing problem.
