Lanark Highlands collects used tires at all waste sites so they can be diverted from landfill and recycled. Tires of all sizes, on or off rims are accepted. No tipping fees apply. 

From 2009 – 2013 residents of Lanark Highlands recycled over 18,000 tires through municipal waste sites. By becoming a registered collector of used tires for Ontario Tire Stewardship, the township turned an expense into a source of income. Instead of paying to have tires hauled away, the Township is paid for every tire collected for the provincial tire recycling program. You can do your part to generate waste management revenues by bringing your used tires to a waste site near you. 

The Used Tire Program benefits Ontario by promoting safer methods of reusing and recycling scrap tires, by creating jobs and economic growth, and by protecting the health and safety of people and the environment.
