Tires Recycling Near Me

Tires can't go in regular trash or recycling in most places. Tire shops will usually take old tires when you buy new ones (often for a small fee), and many counties hold tire collection days or accept tires at transfer stations for a per-tire fee.

How to prepare tires for recycling

  1. Take tires off their rims — many sites won't accept tires on rims, or charge extra.
  2. Check the limit per visit and ask about fees, which are often charged per tire and higher for truck or oversized tires.
  3. Bring proof of residency if the site is municipal.

What usually isn't accepted

  • Commercial loads at most municipal sites
  • Tires still on rims at some drop-offs

Will I get paid, or is there a fee?

Tire disposal usually costs a small per-tire fee, which may already be included in the price of new tires. Some counties offer free tire amnesty days.

Can I dump old tires at a landfill?
