Where to Recycle Tires in Kitsap County

Washington State bans tires from standard landfill disposal — they must go to certified recycling or disposal channels. Here is a complete guide to tire recycling options in Kitsap County, including our tire disposal service in Silverdale.

Kitsap County Transfer Station

The Silverdale transfer station on Dickey Road NW accepts passenger and light truck tires for a per-tire disposal fee. They are collected and sent to certified tire recyclers who shred them into crumb rubber for playground surfaces, athletic tracks, and road construction. Current fees and hours are on the Kitsap County Solid Waste website.

Tire Retailers

Most tire shops in Kitsap County — Les Schwab, Discount Tire, America’s Tire — accept old tires for recycling. Fees vary by retailer and whether you are purchasing new tires. Call ahead to confirm current policy before making the trip.

What Happens to Recycled Tires

Recycled tires are shredded into crumb rubber used for playground surfaces and athletic fields, processed into tire-derived fuel used in industrial applications, and have their steel wire extracted and recycled as scrap metal. Tire recycling is one of the more complete recycling streams — very little goes to waste.
