Programa de arredondamento de pneus

Parceria com grupos comunitários para remover pneus descartados ilegalmente de espaços públicos.

Sobre

O Programa Tire Round-Up é uma parceria entre a cidade, capitães de quarteirão e grupos comunitários. Todo verão, grupos registrados coletam e entregam pneus descartados ilegalmente para ganhar fundos para projetos de embelezamento do bairro.

Coletar e descartar adequadamente os pneus ajuda a:

  • Mantenha nossos bairros limpos.
  • Remova materiais inestéticos e potencialmente perigosos.
  • Proteja nossa saúde pública e meio ambiente natural.

Capitães de quarteirão e grupos comunitários devem se registrar no Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (PMBC) para participar deste programa.

O PMBC reembolsa grupos registrados em 50 centavos por cada pneu descartado ilegalmente que eles trazem para um local de entrega. O limite de entrega de pneus é de 1.000 pneus por grupo.

Eligibility

The Tire Round-up Program is open to community groups, such as:

  • PMBC-organized block clubs
  • Recycling groups
  • Park Friends groups
  • Organized community/civic groups
  • Neighborhood advisory committees
  • Town Watch organizations
  • Other organized groups recognized by the Department of Streets

We limit registration to the first 150 eligible community groups each year.

Individuals who want to dispose of tires can drop them off at a sanitation convenience center. You can drop off four tires per visit. If you see illegally discarded tires, you can report illegal dumping.

How to register

1
Identify a Tire Round-up coordinator within your group.
2
Call PMBC at (215) 685-3981 to request an agreement form.
3
Complete the agreement form.

Fill out and email the form to tireroundup@phila.gov to register. You must include proof of your group’s federal tax ID number and designation as a 501(c)(3) as part of registration.

PMBC will notify you if you can participate.

PMBC will verify your eligibility, give you an identification number, and provide a list of drop-off locations and hours of operation.

How the program works

Rules

  • PMBC will only reimburse community groups that registered in advance.
  • PMBC will only reimburse your group for illegally discarded tires. Donated tires from other sources are not allowed. Business owners must pay a fee for private disposal. We will disqualify your group from the program if you drop off tires from locations like:
    • Auto repair shops.
    • Car dealers.
    • Mechanic shops.
    • Private storage lots.
  • You must bring illegally discarded tires to an official drop-off site on the stated collection dates.
  • You must provide your registered identification number to drop off tires. If you forget your ID number, we will take as much identifying information as possible at the site. We cannot guarantee reimbursement unless we can find and verify the ID number.

Reimbursements

At the end of each summer’s Tire Round-up Program, the Department of Streets will reconcile all accounts. Once this happens, each participant will be issued a check based on the number of eligible tires dropped off under its group’s identification number.

We limit total reimbursement for any one group to not more than $500 each year.
