June 29, 2022 – The Macon County Health Department (MCHD) and the Macon Mosquito Abatement District (MMAD) will be partnering to hold a tire drive for residents in Macon County on Thursday, June 30, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Unused or discarded tires can quickly become prime breeding grounds for mosquitos. MCHD and MMAD will be working to eliminate some of the barriers associated with tire disposal to decrease mosquito-borne infections and illnesses.

The drive will take place at the Macon Mosquito Abatement District at 3755 Cundiff Rd., Decatur, IL.

Up to 10 rimless passenger tires will be accepted per residence. No large tires or tractor tires will be accepted at this event.
