    How it works

    Whole scrap tires are banned from Missouri landfills. Anyone selling new, used or remanufactured tires at retail must accept scrap tires from customers, one for each tire sold, at the point of transfer, and may charge a reasonable fee. DNR also suggests taking a few tires to a tire dealer and paying the per-tire disposal fee. A 50-cent state fee is added to each new tire sold. Homeowners may put tires in the trash only if cut first.

    Cost & rules
    • Tire sellers must take your scrap tires one for one when you buy tires, at the point of transfer, and may charge a reasonable per-tire fee. DNR says to expect to pay a disposal fee for each tire.
    • Without a tire purchase, other arrangements are needed, such as a scrap tire site or a permitted hauler; these may charge.
    • Whole tires are banned from landfills. Tires may go in household trash only if cut first; burning tires is illegal.
