Edmond Life and Leisue - April 3, 2025

Tire cleanup effort set April 5

The City of Edmond is participating April 5 in the Keep Oklahoma Beautiful Tire Reclamation, in conjunction with the Route 66 Midpoint Corridor and Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.

Sponsored by Cox Communications, the program is free. Edmond residents can drop off old tires at the Edmond Electric headquarters, 2004 Old Timbers Drive, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Proof of Edmond residency is required to participate.

Volunteers at each location will assist in the tire collection, ensuring that all materials are disposed of properly and recycled. To drop off tires for reclamation, residents must:

Bring a copy of their utility bill or a driver’s license will be required to verify that they live within the City limits of Edmond.

All tires must have rims removed. Only the tire will be accepted. No tractor tires or large implement tires. No businesses. This event is for residents only.

To kick off Earth Month, the event runs April 1-5 in Davenport, Stroud, Bristow, Kelleyville, Sapulpa and Edmond, with the goal of cleaning up the 100 greatest miles of Route 66 in Oklahoma. It is part of the “Keep Route 66 Beautiful” initiative, a more than 400-mile cleanup of Route 66 in Oklahoma that runs through 2026 to ensure visitors have a clean and green experience while visiting the Mother Road during its 100-year anniversary.
