Old tires are unsightly and can harm the environment. Discount Tire makes it simple to dispose of and recycle them responsibly—and to get you into safe replacement tires when you’re ready.
We take tire disposal seriously. When your tires are damaged or at the end of their life, we route them to a licensed third‑party tire recycling operation. There, steel is separated from rubber and each component is recycled or repurposed to minimize waste. Thanks to better technology, anti‑dumping laws, and state‑mandated disposal fees, illegal tire dumping has decreased—but proper recycling is still essential.
If you’re replacing tires, we’ll help you pick the right set and responsibly recycle your old ones in accordance with local laws.

Never dump tires into water or attempt to burn them. Tire compounds include chemicals that can pollute air, soil, and water and are dangerous when inhaled. After a blowout, if it’s safe, collect tire fragments; we’ll help you dispose of them properly.
