We accept virtually all tire types: passenger car tires, light truck and SUV tires, commercial truck and trailer tires, tractor and farm equipment tires, construction and heavy equipment tires, motorcycle tires, and ATV/UTV tires. We handle tires with or without rims. The only tires we cannot accept are those contaminated with hazardous materials or excessive dirt/debris that would interfere with recycling processes.
Yes, we accept tires with rims. However, there may be an additional charge for tires mounted on rims due to the extra processing required to separate the tire from the wheel. For the most accurate pricing, please mention that your tires have rims when requesting a quote.

Yes, there is a minimum service charge for small quantities to cover our transportation and processing costs. However, we strive to keep our minimums reasonable and competitive.

Pickup & Scheduling
We offer same-day and next-day service throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Lehigh Acres for urgent needs. Standard scheduling is typically 2–3 business days. Commercial accounts with recurring service receive priority scheduling and guaranteed time windows. For large projects or specialized equipment needs, we recommend 1–2 weeks advance notice to ensure optimal logistics and pricing.
For commercial accounts, you don't necessarily need to be present if tires are accessible and payment arrangements are in place. For residential pickups, we prefer someone to be available to confirm the quantity and condition of tires. We'll discuss access instructions when scheduling your pickup.
Please ensure tires are accessible for our crew to load. Ideally, tires should be gathered in one location, free of excessive mud or debris. If tires are scattered across a large property or in difficult-to-reach areas, please let us know when scheduling so we can bring appropriate equipment. Remove any loose items from inside tires.
Yes, Saturday pickup is available by appointment. We understand that businesses and residents have busy schedules, so we offer flexible timing including early morning and evening appointments when needed. Commercial accounts with recurring service can schedule weekend pickups as part of their regular service plan.
Recycling Process
Yes, we are committed to true recycling. Tires collected in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida are transported to certified processing facilities where they are transformed into valuable products: crumb rubber for playgrounds and athletic surfaces, tire-derived fuel for energy recovery, and feedstock for civil engineering applications. We maintain chain-of-custody documentation and only work with facilities that meet Florida DEP environmental standards.
After collection, tires are transported to licensed processing facilities. There they undergo shredding and processing to separate rubber, steel, and fiber components. The rubber is processed into various sizes of crumb rubber for different applications. Steel is recovered and recycled through metal processors. Fiber is used in fuel blends or other industrial applications.
Our goal is to divert 100% of collected tires from landfills through recycling and beneficial reuse. In rare cases, tires that are severely contaminated or damaged beyond processing capability may require alternative disposal, but this represents less than 1% of our volume. We continuously work to improve our recycling rates and find new markets for tire-derived materials.
Yes, we provide certificates of recycling and disposal documentation for all commercial pickups. This documentation verifies that your tires were properly recycled and not landfilled. Many businesses require this documentation for environmental compliance reporting, LEED certification, or corporate sustainability programs.
Commercial Services
Yes, business pickup is our specialty. We serve tire shops, auto repair centers, car dealerships, fleet operators, construction companies, farms, and property management companies throughout Southwest Florida. We offer flexible scheduling including early morning, evening, and weekend appointments to minimize disruption to your operations. Commercial accounts receive priority scheduling and volume pricing.
Yes, recurring service is available for businesses that generate tires regularly. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom schedules based on your volume. Many tire shops and repair centers appreciate our reliable recurring service with roll-off containers or scheduled truck routes. Recurring customers receive locked-in pricing and dedicated service windows.
Yes, we provide complete documentation for every pickup. Commercial clients receive manifests, disposal certificates, and recycling reports that satisfy regulatory requirements and audit needs. Our records include tire counts by type, processing facility destination, and recycling outcomes. This documentation is essential for businesses maintaining environmental compliance and demonstrating corporate sustainability commitments.
Yes, we specialize in large-scale tire removal. Whether it's an abandoned property with hundreds of tires, a commercial closure with thousands of tires in inventory, or an illegal dump site, we have the equipment and logistics expertise to handle it. We provide site assessment, proper permitting when required, efficient removal, and complete site restoration. Large projects receive dedicated project management and phased scheduling as needed.
Yes, we regularly contract with city and county governments, law enforcement agencies, and environmental departments for tire collection events, illegal dump cleanups, and public works tire disposal. We understand public procurement requirements and can provide bid responses, insurance certificates, and performance bonds as needed.
