Tire disposal across the Golden Isles.
Old passenger and light-truck tires hauled cleanly. Routed to authorized recyclers, not the landfill. The category most haulers refuse — we don’t.
Tire disposal is one of those calls most haulers refuse. The reason is structural: tires don’t price the same way as the rest of a load. Disposal facilities charge per tire, not per cubic yard, and Georgia has tire disposal regulations that route used tires through authorized recyclers rather than the landfill. The fee is awkward, the route is regulated, and a lot of trucks would rather pass.
We take them. The most common call is the homeowner with four to eight old tires sitting in the garage or behind the shed after a tire shop replaced their set and either didn’t take the old ones or charged extra to do it. The customer ends up holding the tires and looking for a way to make them go. Same scenario happens after a property cleanout when the previous occupants left tires behind, or after a flood when tires from the yard or shed need to be hauled along with everything else.
Operationally the work is straightforward. We load the tires, we route to an authorized tire recycler, and the recycler sends them on to retread, energy recovery, or rubberized-asphalt mulch depending on the condition. Rims-on tires cost more than rims-off tires at the recycler — the dismount is extra labor for them, which passes through to the customer. We tell you the difference on the call so the price isn’t a surprise.
Customers cleaning out a garage or running a property turnover shouldn’t have to find a separate solution for the six old tires sitting in the corner. We take them as part of the load.
What we haul
Specifically, what we take for tire disposal.
- Passenger car tires (with or without rims)
- Light truck tires (pickup, SUV, light-duty work truck)
- Mounted tires (rim still attached) and dismounted tires
- Tires from garage cleanouts, post-cleanup property turnovers
- Tires from estate cleanouts when found in sheds or garages
- Spare tires, donut spares, run-flat tires
- Trailer tires (utility trailer, small boat trailer)
- Motorcycle and ATV tires (small volumes only)
How we work
How we actually handle it.
Tire pickup is part of the standard appointment when the tire count is small enough to fit in the load. Most calls run four to eight tires — the volume from a single set of tire replacements. Larger volumes (twenty or more, post-shop accumulation, post-flood property cleanups) schedule as their own visit because the per-tire fee adds up quickly and we want to be straight about the line item rather than burying it.
We don’t require the customer to dismount the tires beforehand. Rims-on is fine; the recycler dismounts at the back end. The customer pays a slightly higher per-tire fee for rims-on disposal, which is what the recycler charges us. The arithmetic is the same either way; we just pass it through honestly.
Loading is two-person carry on heavier mounted truck tires. Passenger tires off the rim are light. We bring gloves and don’t track the rubber dust into the truck cab.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Tire pricing is per-tire plus the standard truck-time and travel components. Per-tire fees are higher than most customers expect — that’s the regulated disposal route showing up in the line item, not us padding the number. We name the per-tire portion separately so the customer can see the math.
Rims-on tires cost more than rims-off tires at the recycler. The differential is small per tire but worth knowing if the customer has the option to pull the rims themselves. Most customers don’t bother and that’s fine.
We don’t take agricultural tires, semi tires, or industrial tires — passenger and light truck only. Volumes above twenty tires usually need a separate appointment so the per-tire fee disclosure happens before scheduling, not during.
