Tire Fees Increasing at the Recycle Depot on January 1st

Monday, December 30, 2024 at 3:00 AM

Beginning on January 1, 2025, fees to recycle scrap tires at the Recycle Depot will be $5.00 per tire off the rim, with a limit of 5 tires per household per month. No business tires or larger tire sizes are accepted.

The Marshall County Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors set the new fees at the November 4, board meeting. The Board, which consists of both county and city elected officials, meets the first Monday of every month at the district office; the meetings are open to the public. The fees are increasing to cover additional costs for disposal and handling for the district.

Residents or businesses with large amounts of tires should contact a business such as Liberty Tire, located in North Liberty, which is more equipped to handle large loads.

Anyone with questions about the new fees should contact the Marshall County Solid Waste District at 574-935-8618.

The Recycle Depot is Marshall County’s headquarters for recycling, household hazardous waste disposal, and environmental education. Items accepted for disposal include batteries, automotive supplies, household cleaners and solvents, televisions and other electronic waste, and paints and stains. Compost bins and supplies, as well as rain barrels and rain barrel kits, are also available for sale.
