Hull Tire Disposal Services

Coordinating Tire Disposal with Hull’s Department of Public Works and Transfer Station Access

Proper tire disposal in Hull, MA is managed through the Department of Public Works (DPW), which oversees both curbside bulk waste collection and the town’s transfer station. Residents are not permitted to place tires in regular household trash or curbside recycling bins. Instead, tires must be brought to the Hull Transfer Station, located at 9 Nantasket Avenue, during regular operating hours (Monday–Saturday, 7:30 AM–3:00 PM). A valid Hull resident sticker is required for access, and a disposal fee of $3 per passenger tire and $10 per truck tire applies. Commercial haulers must be licensed by the town and comply with all local waste transport regulations. Key steps for residents include:

• Removing tires from rims before drop-off
• Bringing proof of residency (vehicle registration or utility bill)
• Paying applicable disposal fees at the gate
• Following staff instructions for unloading

Understanding Hull’s Tire Disposal Regulations and State Landfill Bans

Tire disposal in Hull is governed by both municipal ordinances and Massachusetts state regulations. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) enforces a landfill ban on whole tires, meaning they cannot be disposed of with regular solid waste. Hull’s code enforcement officers monitor compliance, and improper disposal may result in fines of $50–$200 per violation. Residents and businesses must:

• Use the Hull Transfer Station or licensed tire recycling facilities
• Never dump tires on public or private property
• Retain receipts for proof of legal disposal
• Ensure commercial haulers are properly licensed
• Report illegal dumping to the DPW or local police

For more information on state landfill bans and recycling mandates, visit the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

Ensuring Environmental Compliance and Safe Handling of Scrap Tires in Hull

Environmental compliance is critical when disposing of tires in Hull. Scrap tires can harbor standing water, attract pests, and pose fire hazards if not managed properly. The Hull Board of Health and the DPW require that all tires be stored indoors or under cover until disposal. Residents and businesses must:

• Store tires off the ground and away from storm drains
• Transport tires securely to prevent littering
• Never burn or bury tires, as this violates state and federal law
• Use only approved recycling or disposal facilities
• Follow all staff instructions at the transfer station

Improper handling may result in code enforcement action and environmental penalties. For additional guidance, consult the EPA Region 1 New England for federal tire disposal standards.
