Volusia County Tire Amnesty Event to Support Mosquito Control Efforts on November 14 in Pierson

Posted On: November 5, 2026

Volusia County is providing residents with another opportunity to dispose of old tires at no charge, helping eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites and reduce mosquito activity in neighborhoods.

The Volusia County Mosquito Control Division will host a Tire Amnesty event from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at 824 North County Road 3 in Pierson. The event will take place on a vacant lot, with signage marking the location and directing motorists to the designated drop-off area. The event will operate as a drive-thru, allowing residents to quickly and safely dispose of unwanted tires.

Each household may bring up to 20 tires. Tires must be removed from rims, and only residential tires will be accepted. Participants must show proof of Volusia County residency, such as a driver’s license or other government-issued identification, at the time of drop-off. Tires from commercial businesses or auto shops will not be accepted. Staff will be on site to assist throughout the event, and tires will be accepted only during event hours.

Discarded tires left outdoors can collect rainwater and create ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes. Proper disposal helps limit mosquito populations and reduces the risk of nuisance and disease in the community. During the initiative’s previous program year, the County collected more than 3,500 tires through these events.

Residents can learn more about mosquito control activities by visiting www.volusia.gov/mosquito, where they can request service, view an interactive map of planned vehicle and aerial spraying operations, and receive email or text notifications when treatments are scheduled in their area.
