    How it works

    Whole waste tires are banned from Indiana landfills. Businesses that sell new tires at retail must accept waste tires, one for one, from customers buying new tires. IDEM does not say whether retailers may charge. Indiana also adds a 25-cent waste tire management fee to each new tire sold. Some solid waste districts and local governments hold tire amnesty days.

    Cost & rules
    • Only when you buy new tires: the retailer must take your old tires one for one. IDEM does not say whether retailers may charge.
    • Whole tires are banned from Indiana landfills, and dumping or burning them is illegal. Some solid waste districts and local governments hold tire amnesty days.
