Old Tire Disposal in Dothan, AL — We Handle the Rubber Nobody Wants

By Dothan Junk Removal Co. | Wiregrass Tire Recycling & Hauling Guide

Old tires are one of the most problematic items in the junk removal world. You can't toss them curbside. Most landfills won't take them loose. And they pile up fast — change your tires twice a year and suddenly you've got 8 sitting in the garage corner.

Dothan Junk Removal Co. picks up old tires and ensures they get to proper tire recycling facilities. Whether it's 4 passenger tires or a pile of farm equipment rubber, we've got a solution.

Why Tires Are Tricky

Tires take up enormous landfill space — they trap air underground and literally pop back to the surface over time. Most landfills either ban them outright or charge steep per-tire fees. Some states require tires to be shredded before disposal. The recycling infrastructure is real but not widely publicized.

The good news: tire recycling is actually one of the better-developed recycling industries. Old tires become rubber mulch, playground surfaces, road materials, and even fuel in some industrial processes. They don't have to end up in a ditch.

What We Accept

• Passenger car tires (with or without rims)
• Truck and SUV tires
• Motorcycle tires
• Lawn and garden tractor tires
• Light farm equipment tires
• Mixed loads — tires plus other junk

Had 12 old tires from various vehicles piled in my shop. They came, loaded them up, and I didn't have to make three trips to three different places. Worth every penny.— Bobby F., Daleville

Tires With Rims vs. Without

We take both. If you have mounted tires (still on the rim), we can take those too. Rims get separated at the recycling stage — steel and aluminum rims have their own recycling stream. You don't need to demount them before we arrive.

Can't You Just Burn Them?

We hear this one. Tire burning is illegal in Alabama — it releases toxic compounds into the air and the ash is considered hazardous waste. It's also a fire that's almost impossible to put out once started. Burning tires at your property creates serious liability. Proper recycling is the right move, and it's not as expensive as people think.
