City cost & eligibility
From $4.5 each rim received with a tire, with tires without rims accepted at no charge. Tires without rims are accepted at no charge. The county fee schedule lists 4.50 dollars per rim up to 20 inches and 6.50 dollars per rim above 20 inches, while the recycling page describes roughly a 4 dollar fee for a tire on a rim, so confirm the current charge with the county.
When & how
Drop-off at the county John's River facility on Marsh Trail. Confirm the current hours with the county, because the landfill phone line was reported down on the page reviewed.
Get it ready
Take the tire off the rim before you go, since that is the difference between no charge and a per-rim fee. County convenience sites are not the place for this material; the tire belongs at the Construction and Demolition landfill.
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.
Morganton residents can take material to the John's River Waste Management Facility at 2500 Marsh Trail, where a transfer station handles general household waste and recycling and a separate landfill takes construction and demolition debris. Metal and clean tires are recycled there, tires without rims at no charge, and cardboard is accepted only in corrugated form. The county does not accept gasoline or kerosene anywhere on site, and household hazardous waste such as oil-based paint, solvents and oven cleaner has to go elsewhere. The city and county pages reviewed do not publish the facility hours and the county page carried a notice that landfill phones were down, so call 828-764-9071 before you load a vehicle.
