The Tire Take Back event is happening across Ontario including in North Bay.

The local business that’s involved is P and G Auto on Gormanville Road.

Co-owner Darrell Pitman says between now and June 4th you can bring by used tires and they will be picked up and then recycled.

He says the funds raised from the initiative go to the Sunshine Foudation which helps children with physical disabilities or life threatening illnesses.

He says the organization grants wishes like trips to Disneyland which means a lot considering what these children are going through.

Ontario Tire Stewardship, the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture are all involved in the program.

Pitman says they will wrap up the event at P and G with a barbecue on June 3rd.
