Where to dispose of old tires
Most landfills won't take whole tires, and many states ban them from household trash. Tire recyclers and some transfer stations accept them for a small per-tire fee, and tire shops often take old tires when you buy new ones.
How to do it
- Ask your tire shop first. Many take old tires for a small fee when you buy replacements.
- Remove rims if the facility requires it, or ask about a rim fee.
- Watch for county tire collection days, which are sometimes free.
What to avoid
- Don't dump tires. Illegal dumping fines are steep in most states.
