Flooding in the Rio Grande Valley has been a problem for many years.

Hidalgo County officials say waterways are often clogged with a lot of waste – including abandoned tires.

On Saturday, Valley residents will be able to dispose of used tires at no cost.

A tire recycling event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon at recycling points in Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy counties.
