WHICH WICH SUPERIOR SANDWICHES

265 18th St. NW, Atlanta Score: 66/U

A citywide scrap tire drive will kick off in Atlanta on Saturday and continues through April 28.

The illegal dumping of tires is an issue in Fulton County. More than 1,000 tires recently were dumped behind a Union City subdivisio­n, and police are searching for a suspect.

Members of the Atlanta City Council host two scrap tire drives — in the spring and fall — annually. The Department of Public Works collects an estimated 1,200 tires from the roadside every month, the city said in a Thursday press release.

There is no charge for Atlanta residents to turn in an unlimited amount of tires during the tire drive. Only car tires and lightduty truck tires, which must be free of rims, will be accepted.

Dates and locations for the Spring 2018 Scrap Tire Drive are:

March 24: Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, or CHaRM, 1110 Hill St. SE, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

March 31: CHaRM, 1110 Hill St. SE, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.
