Tire disposal prices in Fitchburg
First item / additional item
Car or pickup-truck tire$99 / $20
Commercial tire, up to 120 lb$125 / $55
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Tires are a waste ban item, so they are never bulk and never curbside, and they go to the landfill drop off for the published per tire fee.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per car or light truck tire dropped at the landfill, with truck tires charged a higher published fee. Fees are paid to the Health Department or online before disposal, and the drop off needs a landfill sticker or a recycling permit. The City also links a free off rim curbside tyre programme whose linked page no longer loads, so confirm any curbside option with the Health Department at 978-829-1870.
When & how
Take the tires to the landfill on 101 Fitchburg Road during the Wednesday, Friday or Saturday drop off hours, after paying the fee.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the rubbish and recycling carts, because they are a banned material, and bring them with the fee receipt to the waste ban drop off area rather than the household trash shed.
Furniture, couches, chairs and rugs are bulk items, and they may not be put at the curb until the Health Department has scheduled the pickup at the published per item charge with a 75 pound per item limit. A free bulk item pass is the alternative for a resident who would rather take the same items to the landfill drop off, and proof of residency is required for the pass.
Televisions, computer monitors, cathode ray tubes, asphalt, pavement, bricks, metals, lead acid batteries, glass table tops, white goods and tires are waste ban items rather than bulk items, and they are refused at the curb. Each one goes to a recycling facility or to the landfill drop off, where white goods, refrigerant units, tires and televisions each carry a published fee that is paid before the load arrives.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Tire disposal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fitchburg.
How much does tire disposal cost?+
A non-commercial car or pickup-truck tire is $99 first and $20 additional. A commercial automotive tire up to 120 lb is $125 first and $55 additional. Count each tire separately.
How do I book a set of four tires?+
Choose the matching tire type and set the quantity to four. The first tire uses the first-item price and the remaining three use the additional-item price. Review your total before payment.
Do you take tires still mounted on rims?+
Text our team a photo before booking so we can confirm the scope and price for your setup.
Can my tire shop take the old tires?+
Ask the tire retailer or your local waste authority about their collection options and requirements. If the tires are already at home, Dropcurb offers a separately booked outdoor pickup for the listed tire types.
Can I arrange same-day pickup?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Checkout shows the available dates for your address. Your booking is for a pickup day, rather than an exact arrival window. We send updates and photos after collection.
Where should I put my items?+
Use an accessible outdoor spot you are allowed to use, and follow the instructions in your confirmation. Keep sidewalks, entrances and vehicle access clear. You arrange any indoor carrying. For a loading dock or a short building access window, confirm the setup with our team before booking.
Will Fitchburg take tires at the curb?+
No. The City lists tires as waste ban material rather than bulk items, and waste ban material is not collected at the curb. Tires go to the landfill drop off on 101 Fitchburg Road, where car and light truck tires and truck tires carry separate published fees that are paid before disposal. The City page also links a free off rim tire programme, but that linked page no longer loads, so ask the Health Department at 978-829-1870 whether any curbside option remains.Official guidance
What does Fitchburg charge for bulky and banned items?+
A scheduled curbside bulk item carries the published per item charge with a 75 pound limit, while waste ban items dropped at the landfill carry their own fees that are paid before disposal, covering white goods, refrigerant units, tires, televisions and monitors and mattresses. Permits cost one published annual rate for a property owner and a higher one otherwise, and a one day pass covers a clean out or construction debris up to one ton.Official guidance
