4 sites in Illinois are listed for old tires: 2 transfer stations, 1 yard waste site and 1 tire recycler. The most are in Cook County (2), Ogle County (1) and Will County (1).
3 post hours and 3 publish a fee, and 1 say they serve residents only. A site is listed when its own record names old tires. Limits and fees differ, so call before you load up.
Landfills may not accept used tires for final disposal unless they separate and shred them for approved uses. Retailers must take back as many used tires as you buy new, and collect $2.50 per tire ($2 plus 50 cents).
