The city publishes no tire collection, and Lake County takes tires at its drop-off centres up to a yearly limit with larger quantities at the Central Facility for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
Lake County limits tires with a 40 inch rim and below to five a year at its drop-off centres, sends anything beyond that to the Central Facility for a fee, and accepts commercial tires there for a fee, but the drop-off page publishes no amount. Call the county on 352-343-3776 to confirm the charge, and ask the city on 352-742-6221 whether a tire can be added to a bulk pickup at all.
When & how
Take the tires to a Lake County drop-off centre during its posted days, or to the Central Facility at 13130 County Landfill Road in Tavares from Mon-Sat 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., after confirming the fee.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the blue cart and out of the bulk pile, bring proof of residency for the county centres, and count them against the five a year limit before you drive, because more than five goes to the Central Facility for a fee.
Car batteries, oil and paint, propane tanks, fluorescent light bulbs, deceased animals, chemicals and concrete are not collected by the city and go to the Lake County Landfill on County Road 561 in Tavares, which answers on 352-343-3776. Household trash is free to a Tavares resident with valid identification at that site, which helps a household that cannot wait for the next pickup after a holiday.
Lake County drop-off centres take garbage, recycling, household bulk items, yard waste, scrap metal, tires, electronics and household hazardous waste with proof of residency, residential loads only and no commercial waste. They refuse construction and demolition debris, box springs and mattresses, appliances, yard waste longer than four feet or thicker than six inches, more than four cubic yards of yard waste a day and more than three cubic yards of bulk a day, and tires beyond five a year go to the Central Facility for a fee.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
