Walker County residents will have an opportunity to dispose of unwanted tires free of charge this Saturday, November 14, as the county holds another Retire Your Tires Amnesty Day.

The event will take place at the Walker County Landfill, located at 5120 North Marble Top Road in Chickamauga.

Residents may bring up to 15 tires per vehicle for disposal at no charge. Accepted tires include passenger car and light truck tires with wheel sizes of 20 inches or smaller, along with all-terrain vehicle tires.

All tires must be removed from their rims and must be dry and free of mud and debris. Large truck, tractor and heavy equipment tires will not be accepted.

The free disposal program is limited to Walker County residents and is not available to commercial businesses. Participants must provide proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or current utility bill, and must unload their own tires.

Vehicles participating in the event should enter through the landfill’s transfer station rather than the scale house. Separate traffic lanes will be provided for vehicles carrying smaller quantities of tires and those pulling utility trailers.

Walker County has collected more than 33,000 tires through its amnesty events since 2017, helping residents dispose of unwanted tires while reducing illegal dumping and environmental hazards.

The county announced the November 14 event in October. The specific hours for Saturday’s collection have not yet been posted on the county’s tire amnesty information page.
