How to get rid of tires in Connecticut
Connecticut towns set their own tire limits and fees. Many transfer stations cap tires per trip. Retailers and scrap tire handlers are alternatives when the town will not take them.

Statewide context
Confirm rim rules, trip limits, and whether proof of residency is required. Do not leave tires roadside.
See CT DEEP waste guidance hubs and your town public works page for local rules.
