Pasco County, Fla., is hosting a free tire drop-off event from March 16-20 to reduce mosquito breeding sites. The initiative, organized by the Pasco County Mosquito Control District with partnerships from Florida’s environmental and health departments, encourages residents to dispose of old tires. Tires can collect rainwater, creating habitats for disease-carrying mosquitoes. Residents may drop off up to 24 on-road vehicle tires without rims or debris at the district’s facility in Odessa. The program aims to protect public health by minimizing mosquito-borne disease risks.
