Tire
Tires cannot be placed in curbside recycle or trash bins. Take tires to a transfer station. Fees apply in Spokane County. In Kootenai County at the Ramsey and Prairie Transfer Stations, up to 8 passenger tires are accepted for free but fees are charged for oversized and rimmed tires.
The easiest way to handle old tires is to let your tire store dispose of the old tires when you buy new tires. Your old tires are sent to a commercial tire retreading or recycling plant. Ask your tire store for details and fees. Disposing of tires with a licensed vendor allows them to be recycled and reused. Retreaded tires contain up to 75% recycled content. Manufacturing one new truck tire takes 22 gallons of oil. In contrast, it takes only 7 gallons of oil to make one retread tire.
