Need a place to get rid of your old worn out tires?

WASTE TIRES CAN BE RECYCLED.

Small numbers of tires are accepted at various landfills along the Wasatch front. Salt Lake County residents may call (801)569-8994 or (801)974-6920 for disposal of small numbers of tires. If you have a lot of tires you may contact one of the listed processing facilities.

Old tires are loaded with BTU energy and valuable plastics. New methods reap benefits of these hard to dispose of tires.

Another way to dispose of your tires may be to sell them to a used tire store. Used tire stores will sometimes buy used tires depending on the condition. It may pay to call several used tires stores and see if they will accept and buy your old tires.

A good practice in the future is to let the tire store where you purchase your new tires, keep and dispose of the old ones. This can save you the trouble to dispose of the old tires yourself. Utah residents may or may not know that for each new tire bought, a tax of $1.50 per tire, is collected to dispose of the old tires whether the tire store keeps them or you take them home. Its much easier to let the tire store dispose of your old worn out tires.
