Since countless tires are stored outdoors, rainwater & snowmelt gathers
in tires; providing a breeding-ground for mosquitoes. Furthermore, it
is difficult to empty tires of water.

One solution to discard water from tires is to cut-off the sidewalls of
tires; which can be done with basic knives available at any
hardware/home improvement stores.

Since the sidewalls of tires do not contain steel belts, companies that
buy recycled rubber may also find sidewalls valuable since Nylon is far
simpler to deal with than steel-belts.

Recycling programs that buy-back the sidewalls of tires from the
public, as well as scrap-tire handlers are excellent incentives in
spurring both tire-recycling and mosquito abatement efforts.

What interest is there in organizing and coordinating tire management
programs?

I like the earth houses made with earth filled old tires. They do some
remarkable things with it.

Any feedback for the sci.environment, talk.environment newsgroups? Has
anybody had experience with local government, non-profit, or private
industry experience realting to tire-recycling, mosquito abatement, or
both?

Moths, same as they do now.
