Orlando is a big, busy city — close to 320,000 people spread from the high-rises around Lake Eola downtown out to Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips and College Park — and all of it runs on tires. Between the rental fleets, the dealerships along the Orange Blossom Trail, the tire shops off SR-408, and regular drivers swapping out a worn set, the city pumps out a steady stream of scrap rubber that has to go somewhere legal.
That’s where we come in. We’re not an Orlando storefront — our licensed facility is up in Apopka, a short run north — but we treat Orlando as home turf. We bring the truck to shops and fleets anywhere in town, and we keep the drop-off door open six days a week for anyone who’d rather haul their own. Either way it’s the same straight deal: $3 a tire, no minimum, no runaround.
Honest note: we don’t have a yard inside Orlando city limits — the licensed drop-off is in nearby Apopka. For most folks downtown, in College Park or out toward Apopka, it’s the closest legal waste-tire facility going.

Short version: no. Florida pulled whole tires out of its landfills years ago, so they can’t go in Orlando household trash, and a hauler can’t drop them at a regular landfill unless they’ve already been cut down to size. The rule lives in Florida Statute 403.717: waste tires have to go to a permitted facility, and whoever hauls them has to be a registered collector with the state’s Department of Environmental Protection.
One number trips up a lot of Orlando shops: 25. The moment someone moves more than 25 tires a month for you, you’re on the hook to keep records — date, count, the hauler’s registration number, the driver’s name. Miss that, and the fine follows you, not the truck.
That’s why we keep our WACS registration (#108814) current and hand you clean paperwork on every pickup. You stay on the right side of the law, the tires actually get recycled into tire-derived fuel and crumb rubber instead of piling up behind the shop, and nobody loses a day to a code violation.

Whole waste tires can’t go in a Florida landfill.
Haul more than 25 tires a month and record-keeping kicks in.

A tire doesn’t just vanish into a landfill — in Florida it legally can’t. Here’s the real path once it leaves an Orlando driveway or shop floor.
We sort the load first and pull anything that’s still got life in it. The rest gets shredded. Most of it becomes tire-derived fuel (TDF) — a cleaner-burning fuel that cement kilns and paper mills run in place of coal. A good chunk gets ground into crumb rubber: the springy stuff under playgrounds, in running tracks and athletic turf, even blended into road asphalt. Bigger casings sometimes get a second life in civil-engineering jobs like erosion control.
The point is simple — a used tire is a raw material, not garbage. Nationally, about three-quarters of scrap tires get turned into something useful instead of dumped (U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association). Everything we collect goes that way. Never a landfill, never an illegal pile.
Run a tire shop on OBT, a dealership in Dr. Phillips, or a fleet yard out by the airport, and you already know the back lot fills up fast — and Florida pays attention to how those tires leave. Move more than 25 a month and the state wants records: who hauled them, when, how many, and a registration number. Hire the wrong guy and that paperwork headache is yours, not his.
We run scheduled pickups all over Orlando, weigh and log every load, and hand you the transporter records that keep an inspector satisfied. Bonded, insured, WACS #108814. One less thing on your plate.
