Why there is no single provincial fee anymore
Until the end of 2018, Ontario ran tire recycling through Ontario Tire Stewardship, with one standard fee across the province. Since January 1, 2019, the companies that make and sell tires fund collection and processing directly under Ontario’s Tires Regulation, which is why there is no single fixed fee published today. We charge a small per-tire fee, $2 to $5 for a passenger tire, to cover the cost of getting each tire into the recycling stream.
