Starting later this month, at least 800,000 tires covering the former Viva Recycling Tire Center in Moncks Corner will be transported to plants throughout the Carolinas and processed for other uses, according to Berkeley County
officials.
In June the county signed a contract with Liberty Tire Recycling to start the tire removal process on Aug. 20. During the removal, Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office and Pimlico Fire Department will monitor the site to ensure no unauthorized individuals access it.
