Tire Recycling
How can I recycle tires?
Car, truck and motorcycle tires can be taken to the Wellford Landfill, located at 595 Little Mountain Rd, Wellford, SC 29385 for recycling.
The drop-off site is open Monday - Saturday 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
DID YOU KNOW? Whole tires are banned from landfill disposal. There is a $2 fee per tire for each new tire sold in South Carolina with a U.S. Department of Transportation number. The fee is divided several ways, but mostly it is used by retailers or local governments to clean up waste tire piles and to recycle waste tires. Some funding is provided to do research to find new applications for waste tires, including using waste tires in road paving.
NOTE: Before buying tires, ask the retailer if they accept the tires being replaced on your vehicle. The state has no other fees associated with the sale of tires. Retailers may charge additional environmental fees for recycling or proper disposal as a matter of company policy.
