Scrap tires pile up at shops, dealerships, fleets, garages, and farms. Willig Tire Recycling picks them up and recycles them at our two Ohio plants: Willig Tire Recycling North in Galion and Willig Tire Recycling South in Hamilton.
We service Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
What we pick up
We take passenger, commercial, and off-the-road tires. A mixed pile is fine. When you call or fill out the form, a rough count and a sense of the mix — passenger, light truck, semi, or off-the-road — is enough. Bigger tires take more space, so a little detail helps us send the right truck.
How pickup works
The service depends on how many tires you have and how often they need to move.
Hand pick-up is a box truck service. We come to your location and pick up the tires there. That works for a smaller pile or a regular stop. Those pickups can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
For larger accounts, we can spot a 48- to 53-foot semi trailer on site. When the trailer is full, we haul it and bring another one. Spotted trailers need to be picked up at least every two weeks.
We also have dump trailers for bulk loads.
The easiest way to get on the calendar is our Schedule a Pickup page. You can also call or email the plant that’s closer to you. It helps if you can share your business name and pickup address, a rough idea of the tires, whether they’re easy to reach, and a contact for pickup day. If the tires can be in one accessible spot, that makes the stop quicker, but we can talk through the site if the layout is tight.

What happens to the tires
Pickup is the first step. At the plants, scrap tires are processed into useful products.
We make all-black, wire-free crumb rubber from high-quality truck tires, in 10/20 mesh, 20 minus, 20/30 mesh, 30 minus, and 1/4 inch, plus custom sizes. We also make black rubber mulch for playground and landscape use, and ballistic rubber in 3/4 inch chunks. Tire-derived fuel (TDF) chips are a separate fuel product, made from a mix of TBR (truck and bus radial) and PCR (passenger and car radial) tires. See our TDF Chips page for more.
If you want to see the size list, start with our crumb rubber page or the post Crumb Rubber Mesh Sizes Explained. Product quotes go to sales@willigtire.com. Pickup scheduling stays on the Schedule a Pickup form, or with a call to Galion or Hamilton.
