⚠️ Don't Burn Them
Burning tires is illegal in Georgia and releases toxic chemicals including benzene, dioxins, and heavy metals. It's also a serious fire hazard. There are better options — and we can help.
Georgia farms generate a steady stream of waste tires — from worn-out tractor tires and combine tires to irrigation equipment and farm vehicle tires. These tires are large, heavy, and difficult to dispose of through normal channels. Many farms end up with tire piles that grow for years, creating mosquito breeding grounds, fire hazards, and potential GA EPD violations.
Why Farm Tires Are Different
Farm tires present unique disposal challenges:
- • They're extremely heavy — a large rear tractor tire can weigh 300–500 lbs
- • Standard tire shops won't accept them
- • They can't go in regular dumpsters or trash pickup
- • They hold water, creating serious mosquito breeding grounds
- • They're subject to the same GA EPD disposal regulations as any scrap tire
Your Options for Farm Tire Disposal in Georgia
Option 1: Call a Permitted Waste Tire Hauler (Best Option)
Best for: All farms — we come to you
The easiest and most compliant option is to call a permitted waste tire hauler who specializes in farm and agricultural tires. They come to your property, load the tires, and handle everything from there. Eco Tire Solutions now serves Northeast Georgia from our Hartwell, GA facility.
Option 2: County Collection Events
Best for: Small quantities of passenger-size tires
Some Georgia counties hold periodic tire collection events. Check with your county's solid waste department for upcoming events. These typically have quantity limits and may not accept large farm tires.
Option 3: On-Site Shredding
Best for: Large volumes of tractor and OTR tires
For farms with large volumes of tractor tires, on-site shredding is often the most efficient solution. We bring the shredder to your farm, shred the tires in place, and haul the chips away.
