How tire disposal works
Most dumps and transfer stations charge per tire, with higher rates for truck and tractor tires and extra if the tire is still on the rim.
Many states restrict whole tires in landfills, so they are collected and shredded or processed instead.
When you buy new tires, the shop normally takes the old ones for a disposal fee. Some counties hold free tire collection days.
