Tire disposal prices in Johnstown
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.
The city publishes no tire route, and the county authority lists tires among the hard-to-recycle items it handles without printing a price or a schedule in the retained bodies, so a tire is a confirmed item rather than a published one.
City cost & eligibility
No tire price is published on the city page or in the retained authority bodies, and the authority's hard-to-recycle list names tires without details, so confirm the location and the fee on (814) 472-2109 before a trip.
When & how
Confirm the drop-off and the price with the county authority before loading the tires.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the curbside bin and out of the monthly bulk allowance until the hauler confirms it will take them, and call the Cambria County Solid Waste Authority on (814) 472-2109 to ask where tires go and what they cost.
The monthly bulk item is free but only if the household calls the hauler first, and the city tells residents to call Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 before disposing of anything that is not household trash. Yard waste works the same way, because Public Works schedules the leaf and yard pickup on request rather than running a standing route.
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.
A household with more than the monthly bulk allowance or with an item the city route will not take.
Cost & conditions
The city tells residents to make arrangements with Pro Disposal before disposing of anything that is not household trash and publishes no rate for extra items, so confirm the service and the price on 814-487-7033 before the item goes out.
Arrange it
Call Pro Disposal, describe the items, and arrange the collection on the company's schedule.
A quoted arrangement rather than a published city service, and the recycling bin still cannot be used for it.

Ask the county about tires and appliances
A household with tires or an appliance that the city route will not take.
Cost & conditions
The authority names tires and appliances on its hard-to-recycle list without publishing terms in the retained bodies, so confirm the location, the accepted condition and any charge on (814) 472-2109 before loading.
Arrange it
Call the authority, describe the item, and follow the drop-off it directs before a trip.
A county service rather than a city one, with the authority also running the big blue bin drop-off programme at 18 locations for its specified recyclables.
Self-hauling in Johnstown splits between the city and the county. The city side is thin: one bulk item a month free if you call the hauler first, yard waste and leaves by request from Public Works with bundles under three feet and 30 pounds, Christmas trees at Roxbury Park by February 2, and every other week recycling in the city bin, with cardboard better taken to the county drop-off containers at Roxbury Park and the D. St. Ball Field. Used motor oil is accepted free at the Highway Garage on Sixth Avenue in Cambria City on weekdays. The county side handles what the city will not: Cambria County Solid Waste Authority recycles televisions, computers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and microwaves at its Ebensburg headquarters for county residents only, and its hard-to-recycle list names tires and appliances without publishing the terms, so a phone call on (814) 472-2109 settles both the route and the price before a load is built.

Before you book

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

Where do electronics and tires go in Johnstown?+
