On Saturday, March 28, 2026, Nassau County Solid Waste hosted the Waste Tire Amnesty Day event, giving residents the opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted tires. A total of 733 tires were collected and properly recycled, helping to keep our community clean and protect the environment.
Improperly discarded tires can pose serious environmental hazards. They can collect rainwater, creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests, and when burned or left to decompose, they can release harmful chemicals into the air, soil, and water. Recycling or properly disposing of tires helps reduce these risks and supports a healthier Nassau County.
The County extends a big thank-you to our Public Works and Solid Waste employees for their hard work in organizing and operating this event, and to all the residents who participated for doing their part to ensure tires are disposed of safely and responsibly.
The next Waste Tire Amnesty Day Event will be scheduled for the Fall of 2026. Residents are reminded that each household may dispose of up to four (4) car or truck tires per year, free of charge, at the Convenience Recycle Center, located at 46026 Landfill Road in Callahan (with proof of residency). Proper disposal helps ensure tires are safely managed and reused in environmentally responsible ways.
