Tires
REUSE: Tires in good useable condition can be resold at garage sales, consignment stores and on internet sale platforms.
RECYCLE: Used tires can usually be traded in for recycling at tire businesses at the time new tires are purchased.
TRASH:
- Tires can be disposed at the curb for regular trash pick-up so long as they are off the rim, have excess soil removed, and do not exceed a maximum outside diameter of 32 inches and a maximum tread width of 12 inches. Some waste haulers limit the number of tires that can be placed curbside per pickup. Contact your waste hauler directly for more information.
- Tires can be disposed at the York County Resource Recovery Center (YCRRC) so long as they are off the rim, have excess soil removed, and do not exceed a maximum outside diameter of 32 inches and a maximum tread width of 12 inches. Loads consisting solely of tires disposed at the YCRRC are subject to a disposal fee of $200 per ton (minimum of $20 for 200 lbs. and prorated beyond 200 lbs.).

- Tires that exceed a maximum outside diameter of 32 inches or a maximum tread width of 12 inches cannot be disposed curbside or at the YCRRC.
