Kentucky's Waste Tire Collection Program-October 5th-7th

a

Kentucky’s Waste Tire Collection Program was established in 1998 as part of the Energy & Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) ongoing efforts to rid Kentucky’s landscape of waste tires. The EEC contracts for the removal and delivery of the recovered tires to "beneficial end use" markets where they are recycled to become products such as tire-derived fuel or crumb rubber. The program is supported by the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is funded when tire retailers collect a $2 fee on all new replacement motor vehicle tires sold. Retailers may retain five cents to offset administrative costs, but the balance is required to go in the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is dedicated to managing scrap tires and developing sustainable markets for recycled tire products. To date, the Waste Tire Collection Program is responsible for the proper disposal of more than 19 million waste tires! 

Every three years, Jefferson County hosts a Waste Tire Collection Event. The next event is October 5, 6, and 7 at 1030 Phillips Lane, across from the Kentucky Exposition Center. 

Thursday & Friday, 7 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., Saturday, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Tires must be separated by type prior to arrival. Any Kentucky resident is eligible to dispose of an unlimited number of tires EXCEPT tire retailers, scrap/salvage yards, and recycling facilities.

  • Tires on or off rim
