Not on the regular city route

Providence does not accept tires through bulky curbside service. Qualifying tires can be self-hauled to Rhode Island Resource Recovery.

City cost & eligibility
City bulky collection does not accept tires; use a confirmed tire facility instead.
When & how
Check Resource Recovery's operating hours and current fee for the exact tire type before travel.
Get it ready
Bring whole tires clean and free of dirt or debris. Solid, foam-filled, cut, or contaminated tires do not meet the recoverable-tire criteria.
