Tire collection has been temporarily paused at County Waste Facilities.
Every year, hundreds of tonnes of tires are collected at County Waste Facilities and are diverted from landfill and recycled.
On January 1, 2025, the Government of Ontario changed the tire recycling targets from 85% of the tires marketed into Ontario to 65%.
Das Soligo, Manager of Solid Waste Services says unfortunately this change has led to a sudden shift in the tire disposal process, and collection sites are overflowing with tires and are unable to find a company willing to remove them.
This is the current situation at County Waste Facilities.
Tires can be dropped-off at most tire retailers, mechanics and auto-wreckers.
