Speaker promotes tire collection drives to reduce mosquito breeding in Martin County
Summary
A speaker identified as Mac encouraged Martin County residents to bring discarded passenger tires to spring collection drives, saying tires are mosquito breeding sites and the collections are free for passenger tires.
Mac, a resident, told listeners there will be tire drives throughout Martin County this spring where residents can bring discarded passenger tires free of charge to reduce mosquito breeding.
The speaker said collecting used tires can eliminate mosquito breeding sites because “mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs in a single discarded tire.” Mac described the pests as the “blood sucking Mosquito” while urging residents to participate.
Mac noted the collections are for passenger tires only and that “No truck or tractor tires” will be accepted. The announcement repeatedly directed listeners to “check out the tire drives throughout Martin County this spring.”
The remarks were delivered as a short public announcement; no sponsoring agency, dates, locations, or organizing body were specified in the transcript.
