You can't make money from recycling tires. In fact, there is usually a recycling cost to pay if you want to recycle old tires, which may be included as a tire tax in your state. If you're looking for how to dispose of tires for free, it might not be possible in your region at all. Disposal via landfill may be free, but may it also be illegal in your state. Look around for the best price and make some cash on the aluminum-alloy wheels/rims on which the tires were mounted.
