Please advise callers to check with a local tire store or their DPW (Department of Public Works) for disposal options. If the caller inquires about cutting a tire in half, advise them that you first recommend that they call a retail establishment that sells tires because cutting a tire in half is difficult and a potentially dangerous process. If tires are cut in half, we will collect a MAXIMUM of 4 halves per week (2 tires).
