*** Cleaning Fee for Dirty Tires ***
Please note that the County of Simcoe will no longer be accepting residential or municipal loads of dirty tires free of charge at County Waste Management Facilities.
Dirty tires will be charged a tipping fee of $230/tonne to pay for cleaning of the tires before they are shipped to the recycling plant.
Dirty tires consist of tires that are contaminated with gravel, dirt and other organic matter.  These tires are hard to deal with and pose several operational problems at the recycling plant.
Thank you for your cooperation.
