Tires Disposal

Tire Disposal

Residents may place up to 4 tires at the curb for collection during Bulk Waste months. Collection crews will separate the tires from the Bulk Waste. It may take up to a week before crews return and retrieve the tires. Separating the tires from the rest of the Bulk Waste allows the SWMD to properly process tires.
