Understanding Massachusetts Landfill Bans and Tire Recycling Mandates

Massachusetts regulates tire disposal through the state’s MassDEP Waste Disposal Bans. The state lists whole tires among the materials banned from landfill disposal and notes that shredded tires are acceptable. MassDEP also states that both waste generators and haulers are responsible for complying with Massachusetts waste-ban requirements.

• Whole tires are banned from landfills under the state’s MassDEP Waste Disposal Bans
• Shredded tires are not restricted under that landfill ban language
• Massachusetts assigns waste-ban compliance responsibility to both generators and haulers
• Additional local recycling options can be found through the Commonwealth’s How & Where to Recycle guidance

• Do not place tires in regular trash
• Use approved recycling or disposal channels for tire removal
• Contact Building & Inspections at (978) 318-3280 if tire removal is part of permitted construction or demolition work

• Concord states that building permit applications should be filed through the Town’s online permitting system and advises applicants to allow at least 48 hours for review
