Free Countywide Tire Disposal Event

Pinellas County is hosting a free tire collection event on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Residents can bring up to 12 tires (no rims and no tires over 36 inches) to one of three free and convenient drop-off locations:  

• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) North, 29582 U.S. Highway 19 N., Clearwater  
• Walsingham Park, 12615 102nd Ave., Seminole
• Lealman Exchange, 5175 45th Street N., St. Petersburg

Event Details

• Residents can bring up to 12 tires to one of the drop-off locations listed above.
• No rims of any size and no tires over 36 inches will be accepted.
• This event is for residents only; tires from commercial entities will not be accepted.
• Government-issued ID is required to verify Pinellas County residency.

Tires collected at this event will be transported to the Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex and processed at the Waste-to-Energy facility. 

This event is a partnership between Pinellas County Mosquito Control and Pinellas County Solid Waste. Waste tires left in the environment collect water where mosquitoes breed. In fact, one scrap tire can lead to the breeding of thousands of mosquitoes over a single season. Removing these tires helps reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.
