The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Tire Amnesty Program allows individuals to dispose of waste tires at no cost or a reduced fee, with the goal of preventing illegal dumping and promoting proper waste tire disposal.

 

By removing these potential breeding sites, this program will help reduce the mosquito population and the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

                

The Tire Amnesty Packet requires the following:

  • Registration of contact information in My FL Market Place

  • FDEP Scope of Work Template

  • Waste Tire Amnesty Checklist

  • Participants Log Sheet

 

Waste Tire Amnesty packets must be submitted 

at least 2 weeks prior to the event.

 

  • This program is for residential, not commercial businesses.

  • FDEP will reimburse each county for mileage, processing fees, disposal cost 

    and equipment rental if applicable up to $25,000 per calendar year.

 

All amnesty events require prior approval for reimbursement.

 

Please contact Waste Registration Section by phone at (850) 245-8798, or by email at Waste.Registration@FloridaDEP.gov for a Waste Tire Amnesty Packet
