How Las Vegas handles tires

Las Vegas runs one of the most generous bulk pickup systems of any major U.S. city: biweekly bulk pickup is BUNDLED INTO Republic Services' base residential service rate, no scheduling required, no extra fee. Just place items at the curb by 5 AM on the same day as your regular trash and recycling, every other week. The catch: mattresses must be wrapped in plastic before disposal, fabric-covered furniture must also be wrapped, and only one major appliance per service day is allowed. Republic Services of Southern Nevada operates under a franchise agreement with the City of Las Vegas, also serving Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin. Two HHW/electronics drop-off locations rotate Wed-Sat between Henderson and North Las Vegas. This page walks through every legitimate option in order from free to paid.

The Las Vegas rule for tires: Tires are never collected curbside. Tire retailers take them with a purchase, and the transfer stations accept them for a fee.

What the city will not take: Refrigerators and anything containing Freon (separate paid appliance pickup), tires, electronics, hazardous waste, construction debris, and items over 6 feet.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: Republic Services (City of Las Vegas franchise hauler): residential bulk item collection, City of Las Vegas: Trash and Recycling. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Hazardous and regulated components in Las Vegas. Las Vegas residents can dispose of household hazardous waste at Republic Services' two rotating transfer stations: Henderson Transfer Station (560 Cape Horn Drive) and Cheyenne Transfer Station (315 W. Cheyenne Avenue, North Las Vegas). The two locations operate on a rotating Wed-Sat schedule, always call 702-735-5151 or check republicservices.com/southern-nevada to confirm which is open. HHW limits: 15 gallons or 40 pounds per customer, gasoline 5 gallons max. Several retailers also offer ongoing free recycling: Home Depot for batteries and CFL bulbs, AutoZone for motor oil and car batteries, Best Buy for electronics, Walgreens for unused medications. The Southern Nevada Health District’s Clark County Recycles directory is the best single resource for finding where each specific item can go.

Why tires are different from ordinary bulk. Tires are widely banned from landfills (state laws in nearly every U.S. state) but easy to recycle through the established tire fee system. The disposal fee is built into every new tire purchase ($1 to $5 per tire), funding end-of-life processing.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Las Vegas

Three mistakes that get tires left at the curb:

  • Don’t illegally dump tires. Federal law prohibits dumping tires in waterways or open lots. State penalties typically reach $1,000 to $10,000 per violation. Disposal options above cost $3 to $8 per tire, dramatically cheaper than fines.
  • Don’t put tires in regular trash bins. Banned in nearly every state. Trash haulers will refuse to collect them, and code enforcement may issue notices.
  • Don’t store old tires outdoors collecting water. Tires hold water indefinitely, perfect mosquito breeding habitat. Mosquitoes carry West Nile virus, Zika, and other diseases. If you must store tires, keep them under cover or punctured to drain.

When free options don’t fit (no new tire purchase, no upcoming collection events, more than the per-event limit):

Auto Shop Tire-Only Disposal

$3 to $8 each

Most auto shops will accept old tires WITHOUT a new tire purchase for $3 to $8 per tire. The fee covers their disposal cost since they didn’t collect the tire fee on a new purchase from you.

The most universal paid option: Available at virtually every auto shop nationally, Discount Tire, Costco Tire Center, Walmart Auto Care, NTB, local independent shops. Many will let you drop off tires anytime during business hours, no appointment.

Volume limit: Most shops cap at 4 to 5 tires per visit. Larger volumes need specialized tire recyclers.

LoadUp paid tires pickup

$80+

Common questions about tire removal in Las Vegas

Does Las Vegas pick up tires for free?

No. Tire retailer, or a transfer station for a fee.

How much does paid tire removal cost in Las Vegas?

Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single tires pickup in Las Vegas starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For households who need same-day service, exceed the one-major-appliance-per-day limit, have construction debris, can’t wait two weeks for bulk pickup, or need full-service in-home removal, LoadUp offers professional removal in Las Vegas with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.

What’s the cheapest way to dispose of tires?

If you’re buying new tires anyway: free with new tire purchase at any tire shop. The disposal fee is built into the new tire price by state law. If you have old tires without buying new ones: $3 to $8 per tire at most auto shops, or free at periodic city tire collection events. Auto shops are the most universal option, every Discount Tire, Walmart Auto Care, Costco Tire Center, and local independent shop accepts old tires for the disposal fee.

Why are tires banned from landfills?

Whole tires don’t compress in landfills, they trap air and rise to the surface over time, breaking the landfill cap and creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus and Zika. Tire piles are also a major fire hazard, tire fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish and release toxic smoke. Nearly every U.S. state has banned whole tires from landfills under solid waste laws. Recycled tires get shredded and used as tire-derived fuel for cement kilns and paper mills, crumb rubber for athletic field surfacing and playgrounds, and recycled rubber products.

How does the tire disposal fee work?

Every new tire sold in the U.S. includes a small disposal fee ($1 to $5 per tire built into the purchase price) that funds end-of-life recycling. Tire shops are required by state law to take old tires when you buy new ones, this is the simplest disposal channel and feels free because the cost was already paid when you bought the new tire. The fee varies by state: California $1.75 per tire, New York $2.50 per tire, most southern states $1 to $2 per tire.

What about specialty tires (agricultural, oversized, off-road)?

Most auto shops only accept passenger and light-truck tires. For agricultural tractor tires, oversized truck tires, motorcycle tires, and off-road tires, you’ll need a specialized recycler. Search “tire recycling” plus your tire type. Some farm equipment dealers accept their own brand back. Disposal fees for specialty tires are typically $20 to $100 per tire because of the larger volume of rubber.
