THE QUICK VERSION
Pinellas County’s September 28 announcement offers residents free disposal of up to four tires through October 30, 2026, as part of its mosquito-control response. The offer excludes businesses.
Tires must be 36 inches or smaller in diameter. Rims can stay on, but keep tires apart from other waste. Bring a valid driver’s license showing Pinellas residency.

WHY IT MATTERS
Outdoor tires can hold water where mosquitoes breed. The County asks residents to empty standing water once a week.
In its October 8 update, the County said its dengue-related local emergency was extended until October 15, 2026.
This is a countywide service notice. These sources do not establish cases or treatment locations specifically in Jungle Terrace.
