About this facility
A tire recycling facility collects scrap tires from tire dealers, auto shops, haulers and the public and processes them into usable products: shredded tire-derived fuel for cement kilns and boilers, crumb rubber for playgrounds, tracks and asphalt, and tire-derived aggregate for civil engineering. Whole tires are banned from most landfills, so these facilities are the legal outlet in many states, and most charge a per-tire or per-ton fee that depends on size and whether the tire is on a rim. Large truck, agricultural and off-road tires usually cost more. Hours, fees and accepted materials vary — call ahead to confirm fees, rim policy and any limits on quantity.
Typically accepted at a Tire Recycling Facility
- Passenger and light-truck tires
- Truck and bus tires
- Agricultural and off-road tires (higher fee)
- Tires on rims (often an extra charge)
Hours, fees and accepted materials vary by site — call ahead before hauling a load.
