Tyres are essential to industries such as transport, mining, agriculture, and logistics. However, when tyres reach the end of their lifespan, their disposal becomes a major environmental concern. Improper handling and accumulation of waste tyres can pose serious safety, fire, and health risks. For businesses across Western Australia (WA), finding a reliable and environmentally responsible partner for tyre disposal and storage is critical.
At Peel Resource Recovery, we understand the growing need for businesses to manage tyre waste with efficiency and compliance. With decades of experience in waste management across WA, we provide tailored tyre disposal and storage services that help organisations maintain regulatory standards while promoting sustainable practices.
Understanding Tyre Waste Challenges in WA
Each year, millions of tyres are discarded in Australia, and a large percentage ends up in landfills or is illegally dumped. This is especially problematic in Western Australia, where vast industrial and agricultural activities generate significant tyre waste. Due to their non-biodegradable nature, tyres can persist in the environment for centuries if not handled properly.
Tyres are flammable, bulky, and capable of trapping water—making them breeding grounds for mosquitoes and pests. In fire-prone regions like WA, piles of stockpiled tyres represent a high fire hazard. As such, government regulations have tightened around the transport, storage, and disposal of tyres.
Businesses that generate tyre waste need solutions that not only comply with local regulations but also contribute to environmental stewardship. Peel Resource Recovery provides exactly that.
Why Choose Peel Resource Recovery for Tyre Disposal?
As a family-owned business with deep roots in the WA community, Peel Resource Recovery offers a unique combination of reliability, environmental commitment, and operational flexibility. Our tyre disposal service is built to support businesses across all major sectors, including:
- Transport and logistics companies

Our facilities are fully equipped to handle both small-scale and large-scale tyre waste, whether it involves one-time clear-outs or ongoing disposal contracts.
Environmentally Responsible Disposal
Peel Resource Recovery ensures that all tyre waste is processed in line with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) standards. Tyres collected at our facility are either sent for approved recycling or safely stored prior to further treatment.
Recycling waste tyres helps reduce landfill pressure and supports circular economy practices. Tyres can be repurposed into various products, including:
- Crumb rubber for roads and playgrounds
- Alternative fuels in manufacturing
- Rubber products like mats and flooring
- Civil construction materials
By choosing us, your business actively contributes to reducing WA’s environmental footprint.
Safe and Compliant Tyre Storage
Storage of tyres before disposal is just as important as the disposal itself. WA regulations require businesses to store tyres in a way that minimises fire risk and prevents environmental contamination. Peel Resource Recovery provides secure, compliant tyre storage solutions designed for short-term or long-term use.
Our storage procedures adhere to strict fire prevention protocols, including spacing, stacking limits, and site monitoring. We accept tyres from various vehicle types, including passenger cars, trucks, industrial machinery, and off-road vehicles.
For clients with recurring tyre waste, we can arrange scheduled pickups and designated storage allocations at our licensed facility—ensuring continuous compliance with minimal disruption to your operations.
Who Needs Tyre Disposal Services?
Tyre disposal is not limited to tyre retailers or service centres. Many industries generate used tyres as part of their regular operations. The following are just a few examples of business types that can benefit from our services:
- Fleet operators: Transport companies that maintain their own fleets must dispose of worn tyres regularly.
- Mining contractors: Remote sites often need bulk tyre removal and safe storage.
- Agricultural enterprises: Farms using machinery like tractors and harvesters require seasonal tyre replacements.
- Construction firms: Heavy equipment such as graders, loaders, and bulldozers generate tyre waste over time.
- Councils and local governments: Public waste and community clean-up programs often include discarded tyres.
By partnering with Peel Resource Recovery, these organisations can simplify their tyre waste management and eliminate unnecessary liabilities.
