The Charles County Environmental Resources Division invites residents to get rid of scrap tires free of charge at the Scrap Tire Drop-off Day event on Saturday, Sept. 23, and Saturday, Sept. 30. Collection times are 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. at the Charles County Landfill (12305 Billingsley Road, Waldorf).
Charles County residents may recycle up to 10 scrap tires. All tire types will be accepted except Track tires. This disposal event is not available to commercial vehicles and businesses. Each person dropping off tires should be prepared to show proof of residency. In addition to scrap tires being unsightly, scrap tire piles can spark fires and are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
