City of Peoria issued the following announcement on Aug. 27.

If tires are left after the designated hours, a $200 fine for littering will be enforced.
Please note the following restrictions to the drop-off:
The limit is 20 tires per customer; this is a legal requirement for transporting tires.
First 10 tires are FREE; there is a $1.00 charge for each tire over 10—CASH ONLY. (Funds will be used for project supplies and neighborhood cleanups).
Only City of Peoria residents can participate; no businesses will be allowed.
Customers must have proof of residency in the form of a driver’s license, state ID OR property tax statement.
No tires with rims will be accepted.
Only passenger and truck tires 17″ or less will be accepted; no oversized tires, including agricultural and commercial, will be accepted.
Future dates are scheduled: August 25, September 29 and October 27.
