Tire Removal & Disposal in Chicago
Four in the garage, twelve behind the shop, a pile in the alley that keeps growing. Illinois won't let tires go in a landfill, so most haulers won't touch them. We're glad to.

- EcoRecycle-First Disposal
Illinois banned whole tires from landfills back in the 1990s, which is why your garbage hauler drives right past them and why they pile up in alleys and garages. Licensed tire recyclers accept them for a small per-tire fee and turn them into crumb rubber and playground surfacing. We take tires to those recyclers as part of any junk pickup, or as a dedicated tire run for shops and property owners who have a lot of them.
Tires with rims are no problem. We pull the rims for scrap steel and recycle both. Tractor, truck and oversized tires cost a bit more per unit at the recycler, and the crew will price those individually in the estimate.
What We Take
- Passenger car and light-truck tires
- Tires on rims (we separate them)
- Commercial truck and trailer tires
- Tractor, ATV and lawn-tractor tires
- Bicycle and motorcycle tires
- Alley and vacant-lot tire dumps (property owners)
- Tire piles behind auto shops and garages
- Old tire swings and planters

The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
-
3
Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
-
4
You don't even need to be there
If the crew can reach the items, whether that's the alley, the garage, a doorman or a door code, they'll do the job while you're at work, text you before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Why won't the City of Chicago take tires?
Illinois law prohibits landfilling whole tires, so they can't go in the regular waste stream. Chicago residents can bring a few tires to a city drop-off event; beyond that, a hauler like us takes them to a licensed recycler.
Is there a fee per tire?
Yes, a small per-tire recycling fee is part of the estimate. That's what the licensed recycler charges us to take them.
Do you take tires still on the rims?
Yes. We separate the rim and the tire; the rim is recycled as steel or aluminum, and the tire goes to the recycler.
Someone dumped tires on my property. Will you take them?
Yes, and unfortunately this is common in Chicago alleys and vacant lots. Property owners are responsible for removing dumped tires, so we'll clear the pile and give you documentation. Our guide to illegal dumping on your property has more.
Do you do bulk tire pickups for shops?
Yes, one-time or on a schedule, whatever suits the shop.
Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
