Got Old Tires You Need to Dump?

The Florence County Dump/Landfill takes tires the first Monday of each month from 2pm to 4pm only.

Bring proof you have paid the $2.00 waste tax on every tire you want to dump.

Individuals should take a sales receipt showing the $2.00 charge paid to the tire retailer.

Retailers with a SC Resale License with the prefix 021(Florence County) who file a ST-390 Solid Waste Excise tax return with the state should bring a copy of their Solid Waste tax return showing they have paid the SCDOR the tax. They can dump as many as they have accounted for on the tax return. At the retailers first visit to the dump they will receive a permit for their business.

Future dumping will require the permit and copy of tax return or sales receipt showing $2.00 tax per tire paid.

All others will pay $99.99 a ton to dump tires.

A worn out passenger car tire weighs an average of roughly 20 lbs, so a ton of passenger car tires would be about 100 tires which works out to about $1.00 a tire to dispose of it outright.

Truck tires with a rim diameter of 17" inches or less can weigh in the neighborhood of about 35 lbs. Large semi-truck tires can weigh up to 110 lbs each.

Individuals are permitted to dump 4 tires at a time at the local county dumpsites.

Lets clean up the tires; they grow mosquitoes and harbor snakes!

Florence County Landfill 665-3022
