West Seattle Tire Disposal
Homeowner’s Issue
Old tires are a surprisingly common eyesore in West Seattle — in back alleys off Delridge, tucked behind homes near High Point, or stacked by driveways in the shadow of Alki’s windy beaches. The neighborhood’s heavy winter rains and compacted glacial‑till soils cause standing water and drainage problems; abandoned tires hold water and invite mosquitoes, rodents, and junk buildup. Many properties here are shady under mature evergreens, which encourages moss and ivy and hides piles until they become a curb appeal problem the HOA or neighbors notice.
Seattle rainfall patterns mean most cleanup work is best scheduled in late spring through early fall; summer watering restrictions can make replanting windows tight. Slopes and tight access on West Seattle lots (steep lots near Lincoln Park or in the north Admiral rise) make hauling bulky items out more work than a flat city lot. That complexity is why a local crew matters: we know which recyclers in King County accept tires, how to avoid blocking narrow ROWs on 35th Ave SW, and how to stage work to minimize erosion and preserve your yard’s soil structure. We only use sustainable methods — no herbicides — and prioritize reuse and proper recycling over landfilling.
Our Quality Service
We remove tires, clean the surrounding area, and transport everything to an approved recycler. Our crew arrives with hand trucks, straps, tarps, and a compact utility trailer sized for West Seattle alleys and narrow driveways. Expect most single‑home jobs (up to 8 tires) done in a morning; larger loads or steep access add a day for safety and staging.
Local realities we address:
- Compacted glacial soils and clay that can trap water.
- High annual rainfall that worsens mosquito risk in stored tires.
- Tight access and street rules near Alki, Lincoln Park, and Admiral.
We follow Seattle Public Utilities guidelines, arrange green‑certified recycling, and never use herbicides — only hand removal, smothering, and organic controls where needed.
Benefits:
- Safer yard (no standing water).
- Better curb appeal for sale or HOA compliance.
- Low‑maintenance finish that reduces repeat visits.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and firm quote.
- Safe removal of tires from yard, garage, or property line.
- Transport to licensed recycling facility (King County recycler).
- Site cleanup and light sweeping to remove debris.
- Disposal documentation on request.
Options / Upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric installation for tidy beds.
- Organic weed control (manual removal, smothering, and compost‑based mulch).
- Haul‑away vs. coordinated city bulky pickup (we can advise eligibility).
- Green waste sorting and haul‑away for non‑tire yard debris (compostable material).
Before & After / Expectations
Be upfront about access: alley pickup or narrow driveways add time and may need parking permits. Expect some noise while moving tires and a short period of disturbance on turf or beds where tires sat. We sweep and reload soil/pine needles; heavy staining may need a follow‑up tidy or fresh mulch.
Typical timeline:
- Estimate within 48 hours of photos or message.
- Schedule within 1–14 days depending on load size and weather.
- Job duration: a few hours to one day for most residential jobs.
West Seattle care tips:
- Water new plantings early morning during drier months and avoid irrigation after heavy rain.
- Watch for spring and fall weed flushes in shady spots; manual pulling and mulching curb pressure.
- For moss and ivy: hand pull, use root extraction, and reapply coarse mulch to discourage return.
FAQs
Q: Do you accept any tire condition?
A: Yes — dry or wet, rims on or off — we sort onsite and recycle everything accepted by our recycler.
Q: Do you use herbicides to clear ivy or weeds?
A: No. We use mechanical removal, smothering, and organic mulches. No herbicides, ever.
Q: How quickly can you remove tires?
A: For small jobs (up to 8 tires) we usually schedule within 1–14 days. Larger cleanups take more planning for hauling and disposal.
Q: Will you leave my yard neat?
A: Yes. We clean swept areas, redistribute displaced soil, and offer mulch to finish beds if requested.
Q: Any extra fees?
A: Disposal fees for recycler drop‑off are disclosed up front. Access problems or heavy staining may add a small charge if extra work is required.
