  3. Kansas tire retailer take-back (K.S.A. 65-3424i)State program · KansasOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    Kansas tire retailers may not refuse waste tires from customers. A store may ask whether you want to keep your old tires, and may refuse more tires than you bought at the time of sale. A 25-cent state tax is charged on each new tire. The law does not say whether a store may charge a disposal fee or must take tires without a purchase.

    Cost & rules
    • Tire stores must accept waste tires from customers, but may refuse more tires than you buy at the time of sale. The law does not say whether the store may charge a disposal fee.
    • Whole waste tires may not go in a Kansas landfill, and anyone hauling tires for you must hold a KDHE waste tire permit.

Before you go

  1. Ask whether tires on rims cost more.
  2. Check per-tire fees and how many you can bring at once.
