The City of West Des Moines, in partnership with Metro Waste Authority, offers a Residential Scrap Tire Collection to help you dispose of old tires legally and free of charge.  This Residential Scrap Tire Collection is open to West Des Moines residents only, on Saturday, April 13, 2024, from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM at the Public Services East facility located at 560 S. 16th Street. Go to the last driveway on S. 16th Street in the cul-de-sac area of the street. Tires will be accepted at the gate.

Here are the rules:

  • This collection is open to West Des Moines residents only 
  • Maximum of five (5) tires per household (no rims)
  • No scrap tires generated by any business
  • No large semi trailer, farm or tractor tires
  • No solid tires such as lawnmower, forklift or golf car tires

If you have any questions, please call Metro Waste Authority at 515-244-0021 or Public Services at 515-222-3480.

If you're not able to make this free event for disposing of tires, you do have options!  Metro Waste Authority has year-round drop-off containers at several locations

Illegal dumping and stockpiling of used tires can create serious health and safety risks. In Iowa it is illegal to dump tires, and non-shredded tires are banned from landfills!
