When bringing tires to any Department of Sanitation facility for disposal, residents must present a valid New York State drivers license and New York State Registration both with New York City addresses. No commercial vehicles are permitted.
Tires are collected by a contractor and taken to a facility where they are converted to electricity.
When buying new tires, bring back your old ones to be recycled. Businesses that sell or install tires must take back tires of approximately the same size that they sell. People can recycle up to the same amount of tires that they buy new. The fee for the collection of old tires is included in the cost of new tires.
