A $1 state fee is charged on each new tire. The law does not say how many old tires a store must take or whether it may charge a disposal fee.
Cost & rules
- When you buy new vehicle tires, the store may not refuse your used or waste tires in exchange. The law does not say how many it must take or whether it may charge a disposal fee.
- Where a permitted waste tire facility serves the county or health district, waste tires may not go in a municipal landfill, and dumping tires at an unpermitted site is illegal.
