County approves tire and refrigeration amnesty for May and October 2026
Summary
The Pottawatomie County Commission approved two months of tire and refrigeration amnesty — May and October 2026 — after a request from the county sanitarian. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
County Sanitarian and Transfer Station Supervisor Scott Schwinn asked the Board of Pottawatomie County Commissioners on Feb. 9 to hold tire and refrigeration amnesty in May and October 2026 to allow residents to dispose of tires and large refrigeration items at reduced or no charge.
Commissioner Deloyce McKee moved to implement the amnesty for those months; Commissioner Gary Yenzer seconded the motion, which carried 5-0. The minutes record the action but do not specify changes to fees, drop-off procedures, or required documentation; Schwinn will be the department point of contact for implementing the program unless the board directs otherwise.
