How to Dispose of Tires in Daly City, CA
Old tires can’t go in the trash and aren’t accepted at the curb. California regulates waste tires closely, so here is how to dispose of them properly in Daly City.
Why You Can't Just Throw It Away
Waste tires are managed under California’s tire recycling program, funded by a state fee charged on every new tire. They are banned from landfills as whole tires, so they must go to a tire recycler, a take-back point, or be hauled by a licensed waste-tire transporter for larger quantities.
