Tyres can't go in your household bins and recycling centres only accept a limited number. Here's how to dispose of old tyres properly.
Most tyre fitting shops accept old tyres for a small fee (£2–5 per tyre). They have arrangements with specialist tyre recycling companies. Ask when getting new tyres fitted — disposal is often included in the fitting price.
Some Dorset recycling centres accept up to 4 tyres per visit for household use only. Check availability before going — not all centres accept them.
Fly-tipping tyres is a criminal offence with unlimited fines. Tyres are one of the most commonly fly-tipped items. Always use proper disposal channels.

Tyre shops typically charge £2–5 per tyre. Many include disposal in fitting prices. Recycling centres accept limited quantities for free.
Most skip companies don't accept tyres. Check with your provider — they'll usually charge extra if they do.
