Old, unused tires stacked up around your property can become prime mosquito breeding habitat. This fall, gather up those old tires and recycle them for free. The Regional District of Central Okanagan and its Mosquito Control Program contractor D.G. Regan and Associates have joined forces with Tire Stewardship BC to provide a one-stop passenger tire drop-off event for any old vehicle tires with or without rims.  Saturday, October 1st, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Okanagan College's parking lot #17 off Campus Road West, 1000 KLO Rd., Kelowna
