Get outdoors and enjoy the spring weather by taking old tires Erin Auto Recyclers.
The business is taking part in the province-wide Tire Take Back campaign to raise money in support of The Sunshine Foundation of Canada, a Canadian charitable organization that makes dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses.
Erin Auto Recyclers is partnering with Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) to host the Tire Take Back collection event where all collection allowances associated with each passenger, light truck and agricultural tire dropped off during business hours will be donated to The Sunshine Foundation.
More than 64,000 tires were collected last year across Ontario during the Tire Take Back events, raising over $118,000.
The funds raised help The Sunshine Foundation fulfil dreams for children within its network, including trips of a lifetime, meeting an idol, and providing adaptive mobility devices.
In recent years, children were even sent on a DreamLift to Disneyworld. To put this program into perspective, the fees collected from four tires can buy a princess tiara or Mickey Mouse ears.
The collection takes place from May 24 to June 4 from Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm and Saturday 8:30am to 1pm.
Erin Auto Recyclers will be holding a Charity barbecue on June 4 at their location 9572 Sideroad 17, Erin.
Other drop off locations include:
– Kenilworth Auto Recyclers, 7258 Sideroad 5W, Kenilworth;
– Fergus Auto Recyclers, 6252 Wellington Road 29, Fergus; and
– Nicklin Auto Parts, 7881 Eastview Road, Guelph.
