Montpelier’s Wheels for Warmth public service project raises money for families and individuals who may need emergency fill-up on heating fuel this winter, said the Rutland Herald. The four-year-old program benefits Central Vermont’s Community Action Council’s Community Action Heating Fund. People can donate used tires, some of which are resold to people needing extra, inexpensive tires. Some 2,500 tires were recycled this year at a cost of $4 to those looking to donate or dispose of them. Casella Waste Management further contributed to the project by donating the money people paid for tire disposal. There’s no way to determine exactly how many people will benefit each year because of the fluctuating fuel prices and, while it’s not a lot of money, it does help to bridge the gap. “There’s all sorts of benefits to recycling tires,” said David Rubin, director of workforce development for Central Vermont Community Action Council. “There’s wins all over the place – win, win, win.”
