The Kalamazoo Conservation District is providing scrap tire collections at no cost to Kalamazoo County residents. Only unpainted passenger tires with rims removed will be collected and no businesses are allowed to participate. - We ask that residents limit their drop-off to 10 tires to allow us to maximize the amount of individuals we are able to service.
For 2024, there were three event dates and we collected 2000+ tires for recycling!
This year we plan to collect even more, sign up now so we can reach our goal of collecting 4000+ tires for recycling and ensure they don't make it in our natural spaces.
If you have would like to recycling any passenger tires (or smaller) you must sign-up through our sign up sheet at kalamazooconservation.org
Volunteers are needed for assistance in handing and transferring tires at all of these events, if you are interested in giving back to your community email us today to get involved!
If you have questions, please call the Kalamazoo Conservation District office at 269-775-3368 or send an email to
