Old tires are one of the most annoying things to get rid of. You can't put them in the trash. The city won't take them at the curb. Most donation centers don't want them. And they've been stacking up in your garage or along the side of your house for months — maybe years. A1 Junk Removal and Tree Service handles tire removal across the Omaha metro. We pick up old tires from homes, garages, farms, and commercial properties, and we take them to a licensed tire recycling facility where they're processed properly.
We've hauled tires from garages in Gretna where a homeowner had a dozen old sets stacked against the wall, cleared tire piles from rural properties outside Bennington, and picked up commercial quantities from auto shops and fleet operations across Douglas County. Whether it's four tires or four hundred, we have the capacity to handle it.
Types of Tires We Remove
Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires
The most common type we pick up. Old sets from tire changes, worn-out all-seasons, winter tires you'll never use again. With or without rims.
SUV and Truck Tires
Larger, heavier tires from SUVs, full-size trucks, and off-road vehicles. These take up more space and weigh more, but we handle them all the time.
Commercial and Semi Tires
Large commercial vehicle tires, semi-truck tires, and trailer tires. These have higher recycling fees due to their size, but we handle the logistics.
Lawn, ATV, and Specialty Tires
Riding mower tires, ATV tires, wheelbarrow tires, and other small specialty tires. We take them all — no tire is too small or too odd.
Why Tires Need Special Disposal
Tires are banned from landfills in Nebraska for good reason. They don't decompose — a tire can sit in a landfill for hundreds of years without breaking down. When piled up, they trap heat and methane, creating fire hazards that are nearly impossible to extinguish once ignited. Tire fires can burn for months and release toxic chemicals into the air and groundwater. On top of that, standing water inside discarded tires creates ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, which is a public health concern. Licensed tire recyclers shred the rubber and process it into products like playground surfaces, rubberized asphalt, and fuel for industrial furnaces. When we pick up your tires, that's where they go — not a landfill, not a ditch, not a burn pile.
Clearing Tire Accumulation from Properties
Some properties have years of tire accumulation — especially rural lots, rental properties, and former auto shops. We've cleared properties with dozens or even hundreds of tires piled up over time. If you're a property manager dealing with a tenant who left tires behind, or a homeowner who inherited a property with a tire problem, we can get the whole pile cleared in one visit. We bring the right size truck for the job and load everything ourselves. If the property also has other junk that needs to go — old scrap metal, bulk trash, or general debris — we'll handle it all at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I throw old tires in the trash?
No. Tires are banned from landfills in Nebraska and most states because they don't decompose, they trap methane gas, and they create breeding grounds for mosquitoes. They need to go to a licensed tire recycling facility, which is where we take them.
How many tires can you pick up at once?
As many as you've got. We handle everything from a few tires in a garage to large piles on rural properties. If the volume is significant, we'll bring the right size truck or make multiple trips.
Do you pick up tires with rims still on them?
Yes. We take tires with or without rims. The rims actually have scrap metal value, which can help offset the disposal cost of the tires.
What does tire disposal cost?
It depends on the quantity and type of tires. A few passenger car tires are very affordable. Larger quantities or oversized tires like tractor or semi tires cost more due to higher recycling fees. We give you a price upfront before we start.
