When you buy new tires, dispose of your old tires at the place and time of purchase. There will be a small fee charged to cover the cost of disposing your old tires at a state licensed facility. If you already have tires at home, contact a tire retail store such as Conrad’s Tire Express, Firestone Auto Care, and National Tire and Battery. These may dispose of tires for non-customers. Also, your city may provide scrap tire collection. Check with your city service department.

In the State of Ohio, you must be registered with Ohio EPA to transport more than 10 tires at a time. If you have more than 10 tires, or have a large tire pile to be cleaned up, contact a registered tire transporter for disposal services. See our Business Recycling Directory for local companies or contact the Ohio EPA for a complete list of registered tire transporters.
