If you just got new tires or plan on fitting your vehicle with them, what should you do with the old ones? We explain the ways drivers can properly dispose of old or worn-out tires safely and without harming the environment below!

Have Your Tire Dealer Dispose of Them

In most cases, you won’t have to worry about what to do with your old tires, as your tire dealer will take care of them for you. Almost all new tire dealers will recycle your old tires for you for a small fee or free of charge.

Many tire dealers will recycle your old tires even if you didn’t get new tires from them. So if you have a garage full of old or broken tires, consider packing them in your car and heading to your local tire dealer. They’ll happily take them off your hands.

Give Them to Auto Parts Stores

Another opportunity for getting rid of worn-out tires is going to auto parts stores. Although it’s not as common for them as tire stores, most retailers will take your old tires off your hands and get rid of them for a small fee. Not every retailer offers this service, though. Therefore, it’s best to call ahead to ensure that the retailer location does tire disposal before heading there yourself.

Go to Community Recycling Centers

Another way to properly dispose of old or worn-out tires is to take them to a specialized recycling center. Some recycling centers may take your junk off your hands for free. So if you don’t want to pay the service fees of the tire store or auto parts retailer, this is an excellent option.

But not every recycling center will take old tires or do so without charging you a fee. You should call local recycling centers and confirm that they’ll take your tires off your hands free of charge.

Use Junk Removal Services

If you don’t have the time or the inclination to take your vehicle and old tires to the nearest disposal option, you can always have them come to you! Junk disposal services will arrive at your location, remove your identified waste, and take it to the recycling or trash center for you.

This option will cost more than the others, but it has added convenience, so it’s great for those with busy schedules. Also, get a junk removal service that recycles to ensure your old tires don’t wind up in a landfill.
