Before transporting household tires in Orange County, identify both the tire type and the receiving facility. The County’s posted schedule accepts up to eight passenger tires at the Landfill and Porter Transfer Station; McLeod Road is marked as not accepting them. Facility schedule
Use the small-load branch carefully
| Load or service situation | What to check |
|---|---|
| Up to eight passenger tires | Landfill or Porter acceptance and the small passenger-tire category |
| Light-truck, other or mixed tires | The different waste-tire category; do not apply the passenger-tire rate |
| County curbside customer in unincorporated Orange | The separate option for up to four passenger tires with large-item pickup |
| Bulk load | County confirmation of transport and facility requirements before moving it |
The curbside option is not a countywide promise to every municipal household. Curbside eligibility
Pick a receiving site, not just the nearest transfer station
For the small passenger-tire category, the County lists:
- Orange County Landfill: 5901 Young Pine Road, Orlando, FL 32829.
- Porter Transfer Station: 1326 Good Homes Road, Orlando, FL 32818.
Both list non-account customer hours of Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Confirm holiday or service changes before leaving. McLeod Road is not an alternative for this tire category simply because it is a transfer station. Locations and hours
A unit price is not always the total
The schedule effective October 1, 2025 lists $2 per passenger tire for the small-load category and a $9 minimum charge. Ask the facility what total applies to your actual load; do not multiply a small tire count and assume the result is the entire charge. Rates and minimum
The County identifies passenger tires by a “P” before the size measurements on the sidewall. Record the count and sidewall type before calling; if the type is unclear, ask rather than assuming the passenger category. Also say whether the load includes anything else, because the posted table treats mixed loads differently.
Confirm before changing scale
The County’s pages use different wording around the 25-tire transport threshold. This guide does not resolve that inconsistency and does not cover a bulk-hauling decision. Call the Solid Waste Hotline at 407-836-6601 with the exact count and load description before arranging a larger move.
No landfill visit, scale ticket or current individual charge was observed. The comparison is intended to prevent choosing the wrong facility or applying the wrong category.

Local Service Ledger compared the facility schedule with the separate tire-disposal page on September 20, 2026. The category table keeps drop-off, curbside and larger-load questions separate. No interview, site visit or individual service transaction was conducted.
