Labor Day weekend may be over, but late-summer festivities are still happening all over Clermont County! Saturday is stacked with several niche-interest events like Vintage Baseball and Train Fest. And who could forget about the weekly live shows at our favorite bars and restaurants?
Keep your water bottle handy, because the heat isn’t letting up any time soon!
Friday, September 11, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It’s about time you cleared out that one corner of your garage. You know the one… with the stack of dusty, dry-rotted tires you haven’t touched in years.
The Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District will take those off your hands during its Scrap Tire Disposal Event on September 12 and 13 at the Clermont County Fairgrounds.
Follow the signs on SR 132 to the drop-off location, and volunteers will guide you to the right place.
Workers will collect disposal fees (cash or check only) before you unload:
$1.00 for each car/SUV/light truck/trailer/ATV tire
$10.00 for each commercial-type vehicle tire (semi-tractor-trailers, dump trucks, etc.)
$20.00 for each tractor tire (must be cut in half if larger than 60″ outside diameter)
Don’t forget to separate any on-rim tires and off-rim tires in advance for ease of disposal. You may be responsible for unloading any tires you bring.
This event is ONLY for Clermont County households, not private companies. Collectors will accept a maximum of 10 tires per resident, except in special circumstances. For additional information, email DSNYDER@ClermontCountyOhio.gov.
The Ohio EPA and Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District are funding this event.
Friday, September 11, from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

New Richmond hosts one of our favorite Farmers Markets each weekend. But it’s no surprise that supplies will begin to dwindle as summer comes to a close. Don’t wait another weekend to explore these incredible vendors.
Fresh produce, artisan crafts, clothing, and other great gifts are available throughout the afternoon. Buying from the local market is a great way to support Clermont County's agricultural workers and contribute to a healthy diet!
If you don’t live near New Richmond, Batavia, Milford, and Anderson will also host their own outdoor markets this weekend.
