Auto Waste

Tires
Tires can be recycled at the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority for a fee. Residentially generated automotive and small truck tires will be accepted at the following rates:

- Minimum fee for a load of tires weighing up to 560 pounds - $25.00.
- Tire loads in excess of 560 pounds are pro-rated - $87.00/ton.

Please call the Transfer Station for information about commercial quantities of tires.

Motor Oil
Do not pour your used oil onto the ground. Several service stations in Centre County accept used motor oil from residents. The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority keeps a list of motor oil recyclers available for residents who need to dispose of their used motor oil. Please call first as policies may change.

Antifreeze
Most antifreeze contains ethylene glycol which causes dizziness or nausea, even when just inhaled.  It is attractive to animals with its sweet aroma, and in small quantities is usually deadly. At the current time we do not have any leads on local stations that will accept used antifreeze. CCRRA does accept antifreeze at our annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event. 

Lead-Acid Batteries
When purchasing a new battery for your vehicle, most places offer a cash discount for returning your old one. If you have an extra lead-acid battery that you need to dispose of, stores that sell batteries will accept them back.
