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 do.

Illinois banned whole tires from landfills in the 1990s, which is why your garbage hauler drives past them and why they pile up in alleys and garages. Licensed tire recyclers accept them for a per-tire fee and turn them into crumb rubber, playground surfacing and fuel. We take tires to those recyclers as part of any junk pickup, or as a dedicated tire run for shops and property owners with a lot of them. Tires with rims are fine — we pull the rims for scrap steel and recycle both. Tractor, truck and oversized tires cost more per unit at the recycler and the crew will price them individually.

You don't even have to be there
If the crew can reach the items — alley, garage, a doorman or a code — they'll do the job while you're at work, send before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Tire Removal & Disposal FAQs
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.
Do you take tires still on the rims?
Yes. We separate rim and tire; the rim is recycled as steel or aluminum, the tire goes to the recycler.
Someone dumped tires on my property. Will you take them?
Yes — this is common in Chicago alleys and vacant lots. Property owners are responsible for removing dumped tires; we'll clear the pile and give you documentation. See our guide to illegal dumping on your property.
Do you do bulk tire pickups for shops?
Yes, one-time or on a schedule.
