Cost me $38 for 240 lbs of tires at the dump. That was 7 from my dually and 2 trailer tires. It's not too bad. I ordered tires online and did my own mount and balancing.

Ours will take 4 (maybe it's 5, but a full set) once per year. I dont think they keep a record though, so

A fellow I knew for years was an "evil genius"...(rip). Tires reminds me of one of many, many stories about him. His uncle had an old two ton truck with wooden side racks and one day went to a local tire store after they closed and filled the truck with about 200-300 tires they had piled outside. The next day they drove way out in the boonies with a sign "used tires $5". They sold every one by that afternoon.
He was a real "Mister Haney".

There is a recycling charge here on new tires. Cars, pickups, motorcycles etc. are $6.50 each.

Somebody drove down the road in front of my house and threw about 10 tires, some with wheels, over a distance of about a half mile.

We had a pile of maybe 1-200 tires on our property when we bought it. One year the county came through to dredge the ditch and took all the tires with them. I did not complain!

Most of the times now, I just pay the fee when I get new tires for the shop to keep the old ones, but i used to just bury them, and save the $5/tire. Old tires do work well for shooting range back stops, when filled with sand, and can make very good leveling drags after you have disced up a field.
