Scrap Tire Pickup for Shops, Dealers & Fleets (Orange & Seminole County)

Tires pile up fast — and Florida watches how they leave

A busy shop turns over more rubber than people realize. A slow week is still a wall of scrap tires by Friday. They take up bay space, they hold rainwater, and they’re a fire risk sitting in a pile out back.

Here’s the part that catches owners off guard: in Florida you can’t just run them to the dump. Whole waste tires are banned from landfills, and they have to go to a permitted facility. So the pile sits, and it grows, and eventually somebody has to deal with it the right way. We’re the somebody.

How our pickup works

No drama to it. You tell us roughly how many you’ve got, we schedule a run, and our truck shows up. We weigh and count what we load, haul it back to our Apopka facility, and recycle it. Most of the time we’re out to you the same week you call.

From there the tires get shredded into tire-derived fuel or ground into crumb rubber — none of it goes in a hole in the ground. If you want the longer version of where it ends up, we wrote that out in how tires are recycled.

• Tell us your count and address.
• We put you on a route — same week in most cases.
• We weigh, count, and load. Rims on or off, doesn’t matter.
• You get records; we get the tires.

The compliance side — and the number that trips people up FL law

One number trips up a lot of shops: 25. If you hand off more than 25 tires in a month, Florida’s record-keeping kicks in — date, count, the hauler’s registration number, and the driver’s name all have to be written down. That sits under Florida Statute 403.717, and the liability follows the tires back to you, not the truck. We broke the whole rule down in the Florida tire disposal laws guide.

That’s why who hauls your tires matters. We’re a registered waste-tire collector with the state (WACS #108814), bonded and insured. Every pickup leaves you a clean transporter record — the date, the count, our registration number, the driver. If an inspector ever pulls your file, it’s all there. You can read the state’s own rundown on the FL DEP waste tires page.

Who we pick up for

Tire shops, dealerships, independent mechanics, and fleets — anybody generating scrap tires steadily across Orange & Seminole County. We run our own neighborhood first: Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, and the towns around them.

We take passenger, SUV, light-truck, trailer, and ATV tires on the regular route. Got a stack of big commercial or off-the-road tires? Call ahead and we’ll bring the right truck instead of showing up short.

What you get out of it

One less thing on the list. The pile out back stops growing, the bay space comes back, and the paperwork that keeps you out of trouble is handled without you chasing it. You make a call, the tires leave, and your file stays clean.

According to the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association, about three-quarters of U.S. scrap tires now go to end-use markets instead of dumps. Your old tires aren’t trash — they turn into fuel and rubber. We just make the handoff easy. Want the pricing picture first? It’s all in the tire disposal cost guide.

Questions we get from shops

How fast can you come?
Usually the same week. Tell us the count and where you are, and we fit you into a route. Shops on steady volume get a standing slot so it runs on its own.

Do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. We’re registered with the state (WACS #108814) and we leave you the transporter record every time — date, count, our number, the driver. Nothing for you to write up.

Is there a minimum count?
Pickup is built for volume. If you’ve only got a few, drop-off is the better deal — $3 a tire, no appointment, no minimum. Call and we’ll tell you which way saves you money.

What about the big stuff?
Passenger, SUV, light-truck, trailer, and ATV come on the standard run. Large commercial, OTR, or ag tires — give us a heads-up so we plan the load right.
