Please do not attempt to drive past barricades. Turn around, don't drown.

Drop off your old unwanted tires for free on Saturday, May 30 at one of two locations in Caldwell County.

Tires may be dropped off from 8 a.m.-noon (or until the containers are full) at 423 San Marcos Highway in Luling or at the county’s Unit Road Office Site at 1700 FM 2720 in Lockhart.

New this year: Passenger, commercial or truck tires with rims are being accepted. (And any help you can give the crew with separating tires before dropping them off would be greatly appreciated.)

Some conditions apply:

• For tires without rims, only passenger vehicle tires will be accepted.
• No more than 10 tires per resident.
• You must bring a government issued photo ID for proof of Caldwell County residency.

With the exception of the DPS office, offices at the Caldwell County Courthouse will shut down today at noon in preparation for this weekend’s Cinco De Mayo celebration on the square. Offices will reopen on Monday at their regularly scheduled time.
