Kansas City Tire Disposal
Tire Disposal in Kansas City
Got a pile of old tires to get rid of? Most landfills won’t take them and most dumpster companies won’t either — but Alpha Team KC will. Add your tires to a flat-rate roll-off dumpster for a small per-tire fee and let us handle the rest.
The Short Answer
Can You Put Tires in a Dumpster?
In most cases, no — whole tires are banned from Missouri and Kansas landfills, so nearly every roll-off company refuses them, and tossing them in without asking usually means surprise penalty charges. Alpha Team KC does it differently. We accept passenger and light-truck tires in our dumpsters for a flat $15 per tire, as long as you tell us the count when you order and set them on top of the load rather than burying them. We take them to a licensed facility to be recycled and disposed of the right way — no hassle, no guessing, no fines.
Simple & Upfront
How Tire Disposal Works
Tell Us the Count
When you book your dumpster, just let us know how many tires you have — and whether any are still on the rim. We add the flat $15-per-tire fee up front so there are no surprises.
Load Them On Top
Toss your other debris in first, then place the tires on top of the load rather than burying them. That keeps everything easy to sort at the facility.
We Recycle Them Right
We haul the load and take the tires to a licensed tire-recycling facility, so they’re handled legally and responsibly — never dumped where they don’t belong.
Why Tires Are Different
Why Tires Have to Be Handled Separately
They’re Banned From Landfills
Missouri and Kansas prohibit whole tires in landfills. They trap methane, float back to the surface, and collect water that breeds mosquitoes — so they have to be recycled separately.
That’s Why Most Haulers Say No
Because tires need special handling and carry disposal fees, most roll-off companies simply won’t take them — or they hit you with steep penalties if they find them buried in the load.
We Make It Easy Instead
Rather than turning tires away, we built a simple flat fee into the process so you can clear them out with the rest of your junk in one trip.
Common Questions
Tire Disposal FAQ
Can you put tires in a dumpster in Kansas City?
Yes — with Alpha Team KC you can. Because most landfills ban whole tires, most roll-off companies won’t accept them. We take passenger and light-truck tires for a flat $15 per tire, as long as you tell us the count when you order and place them on top of the load instead of burying them.
How much does it cost to dispose of a tire?
$15 per tire, paid in advance when you book. That covers proper recycling at a licensed facility. The dumpster rental itself is a separate flat rate starting at $300 — with no tonnage fees.
Do the tires need to be off the rim?
On or off the rim is fine. Just let us know the count and whether any still have rims when you place your order.
How many tires can I get rid of?
For a household cleanup, a handful of tires is no problem at all. For larger volumes — a shop cleanout, dozens of tires, or oversized commercial and tractor tires — give us a call and we’ll put together a quick quote.
What if I don’t tell you about the tires?
Undisclosed or buried tires are still charged $15 each — and loads are photographed at the dump. It’s always cheaper and easier to just tell us up front so we can build it into your price.
Where else can I take old tires in Kansas City?
Many tire shops will take your old tires for a small fee when you buy new ones, and the KC metro has special-waste drop-off options. But if you’re already renting a dumpster for a cleanout or project, adding them to your load is by far the simplest route.
