Tire Disposal
Othoniel's Junk Removal Service picks up and disposes of old tires, open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Tires can't simply go in regular trash in California, and disposal involves a state-mandated recycling fee — we handle the pickup and proper disposal for you.
California's CalRecycle program (the California Tire Recycling Act) is why tire disposal typically costs more than other junk items — it funds statewide tire recycling infrastructure through a per-tire fee. This is a real, state-mandated cost structure, not an arbitrary upcharge.
Tires are heavy and awkward to stack safely, so having them gathered in one spot — a garage, driveway, or curb — before we arrive speeds up the pickup considerably.

How Pricing Works
Tire disposal is typically priced per tire. California's California Tire Recycling Act funds tire recycling through a statutory per-tire disposal fee (charged on new tire sales and reflected in end-of-life disposal costs industry-wide). [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: whether a specific per-tire fee is passed through to the customer before stating a dollar amount.]
