Disposal fees for auto and light truck tires up to 18” off rim are $3 each; $5 if on rim.
SUV and light truck tires 19” through 22” off rim are $5 each. Tractor trailer tires up to 22.5” are $20 each. Farm tractor rear tires up to 75 lbs. are $20 each; up to 150 lbs. are $40 each; and over 150 lbs. are $75 each. No rims, please, on the tractor trailer or farm tires.
Community tire collections are offered as a public service to provide convenient, affordable disposal of scrap tires, thus reducing the risk of West Nile, Zika and other diseases by eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.
Since 2004, over 50,000 tires and wheels have been properly disposed through this program.
The Independence Conservancy is a nonprofit land conservation and environmental stewardship organization active in Beaver, Washington and Allegheny Counties.
