Residents and city workers load and transport collected tires at a tidy neighborhood drop-off area.

Topeka city officials say two tire takeback events brought in more than 3,100 tires, a result described as a major win for the City of Topeka’s property maintenance efforts. KSNT 27 News reports the collection came from events held on July 6 and July 11.

The City of Topeka’s property maintenance unit credited the initiative’s turnout as evidence that residents are participating in efforts to keep tires out of unwanted places. The announcement highlights the combined impact of the two events rather than a single drop-off day.

With thousands of tires collected, the program provides a constructive step toward improved local cleanup and more responsible handling of used tires in Topeka, as reflected in the city’s public update.
