A free tire collection event will be held between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the Kea’au Middle School parking lot at 16-565 Kea’au-Pāhoa Rd.

The County of Hawai’i Department of Environmental Management, in collaboration with the Hawai’i State Department of Health, Council members Matt Kaneali’i-Kleinfelder and Sue Lee Loy, and Lex Brodie’s Tires, is proud to offer a free residential tire collection event. This initiative provides residents with a convenient, no-cost way to safely dispose of old tires, helping protect public health and the environment.

Eligible tires are limited to passenger car and light truck tires or smaller. Commercial vehicle and large truck tires will not be accepted. Tires must be free of water, dirt, and other debris. Tires with rims and wheels attached will be accepted.

This event is for household-generated and self-hauled tires only.  Business, government agency, non-profit agency, or farm wastes are prohibited by law.

Take advantage of this opportunity to respect and care for our ʻāina by responsibly disposing of your old tires.

If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Alex White, Recycling Specialist with the Department of Environmental Management, at (808) 961-8942, or email alexander.white@hawaiicounty.gov.
