Tire Recycling

Iowans generate more than 3 million waste tires each year. Proper management and disposal of waste tires is vital to ensure the quality of the environment and public health and safety. State laws, regulations, and programs are designed to ensure that waste tires are properly disposed of.

The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency accepts tires at the landfill for recycling for a fee.
