If you’re cleaning out your garage, replacing old vehicle tires, or tackling a home renovation in Davis or Weber County, you may be wondering whether your old tires can go in your roll-off dumpster.
Quick Answer
Yes, but with limits. At Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal, you may dispose of up to 6 tires per dumpster load for $10 per tire. Because tires require special handling and recycling, they cannot be mixed with debris without being identified beforehand.
If you have more than six tires or oversized equipment tires, contact us before your rental so we can recommend the best disposal option.
Why Are Tires Treated Differently?
Unlike household junk or construction debris, tires require special processing after collection. They are commonly recycled into products such as playground surfaces, rubber mulch, athletic tracks, and road materials.
Because of this, Utah manages waste tires separately from general landfill waste. Disposal facilities charge additional processing fees, which is why dumpster companies typically charge a separate tire fee.
Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental’s Tire Policy
Here’s what you need to know before loading your dumpster.
Accepted
- Passenger vehicle tires
- SUV tires
- Light truck tires
- Trailer tires
- Lawn tractor tires
- ATV tires
Limit
- Up to 6 tires per dumpster load
- $10 per tire
If you expect to dispose of more than six tires, please contact us before delivery so we can discuss the best disposal solution.
Why Is There a Tire Fee?
Unlike wood, drywall, furniture, or household debris, tires cannot simply be disposed of with general waste.
Each tire must be:
- Separated from the debris
- Transported appropriately
- Processed through approved recycling or disposal facilities
The $10 per tire fee helps cover these additional handling and recycling costs.
Utah Tire Disposal Rules
Utah encourages recycling of waste tires through approved recycling and disposal programs. Waste tires are regulated differently from standard construction and household debris because they require specialized processing.
Many transfer stations and disposal facilities charge separate fees for tires, and some facilities have quantity restrictions or additional requirements for oversized or commercial loads.
For homeowners, the simplest option is to let your dumpster rental company know in advance if your load includes tires.
What If I Have More Than Six Tires?
If your project includes more than six tires, don’t simply load additional tires into the dumpster.
Instead, contact our team before your scheduled pickup.
Depending on the quantity and tire type, we may recommend:
- Separate tire pickup
- Multiple loads
- A local recycling facility
- Junk removal service
Planning ahead helps avoid unexpected disposal charges and keeps your project moving smoothly.
Common Projects Where Tires Are Found
Many homeowners discover old tires during projects such as:
- Garage cleanouts
- Estate cleanouts
- Basement organization
- Shed cleanouts
- Yard cleanups
- Home renovations
- Property cleanups
- Moving preparation
It’s common to uncover a few old tires that have been sitting unused for years. Fortunately, they can usually be added to your rental as long as they fall within our accepted limit.
