A tire collection effort was held Saturday to help combat the ongoing illegal dumping issue in Atlanta.

Several participants discarded their tires for free at 400 Ashwood Avenue in southeast Atlanta.

The event was held in partnership with Liberty Tire Recycling and Keep Atlanta Beautiful and includes Atlanta council districts 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, and 12.
