Tires

Not on the regular city route

Every City channel refuses tires: the cart, the special pickup route, the transfer station and the hazardous waste event all list them as not accepted.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no tire collection and no tire rate, and tires are refused in the trash cart, on the Wednesday Special Pickup route, at the transfer station and at the hazardous waste drop-off event, so a tire has to go to a retailer or another private route that sets its own price.
When & how
Ask the shop that sells or services the tires about a take back, rather than setting them out on a collection day.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the trash cart, off the special pickup pile, out of the transfer station load and out of a hazardous waste load, because each of those channels refuses them by name.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Cape Girardeau means the Recycling Center and the Transfer Station. The Recycling Center at 2007 Southern Expressway is a drive-through building with bins for cardboard, glass and single stream material, open Monday to Friday seven thirty to four, and it also takes the listed electronics free of charge, small yard waste such as leaves and twigs a quarter inch or smaller, and used motor oil and the other accepted fluids at the southeast corner of the Public Works building between eight and three thirty on weekdays. Televisions and CRT monitors are not accepted at the Recycling Center and go to the Transfer Station at 2055 Corporate Circle for disposal, which is open Monday to Friday seven to four and closed on weekends and City holidays. The gate charges a general disposal rate per ton with a minimum charge per load, the same per ton rate for limbs and brush, and a per item rate for white goods, and it refuses tires, batteries, motor oil, concrete, railroad ties, automobile parts, pesticides, oil-based paint and other hazardous material. Every load has to be secured with tarps and the tailgate up, because an uncovered load carries the published unsecured load fee. Tires have no city route at all, and the household hazardous waste drop-off depends on state grant funding.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Tire disposal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cape Girardeau.

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 Cape Girardeau take tires?

No. Tires are refused in the trash cart, refused on the Wednesday Special Pickup route, refused at the transfer station and refused at the City's hazardous waste drop-off event, and no tire collection or rate is published, so a tire shop or another private route has to take them at its own price.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Cape Girardeau?

The City does, through the Public Works Solid Waste Division, which issues a tan trash cart and a dark green recycling cart to each residential customer and collects both weekly on the address's route day. Public Works answers questions on (573) 339-6351, and the department also runs the Recycling Center and the Transfer Station.Official guidance

When can I drop off household hazardous waste in Cape Girardeau?

The City periodically offers a household hazardous waste drop-off in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Southeast Missouri Solid Waste Management District, and the City states the event depends on state grant funding, so call Public Works on (573) 339-6351 or watch the solid waste page for the next date. The event takes acids, antifreeze, brake fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinner, pesticides and herbicides, photo chemicals, solvents, used motor oil and used oil filters, and it refuses ammunition, asbestos, batteries, biological waste, cooking oil, explosives, fertilizers, fire extinguishers, gas cylinders, infectious waste, paint in glass containers, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste, smoke detectors, syringes and tires.Official guidance
