Before taking tires to Medina County’s recycling facility, check the current accepted-items list—not just an old household-waste flyer. The live list requires accepted tires to be off their rims and limits a visit to ten or fewer tires. Agricultural and semi tires are not accepted under those instructions. Current tire list

That is a facility acceptance rule, not advice to dismount a tire yourself. Arrange any needed tire work with an appropriate service provider before planning the disposal trip.

Check the load and the district

The facility’s current tire list distinguishes passenger/light-truck tires from oversized pickup or racing tires, with different listed charges. It does not make every large tire eligible because a fee exists for one larger category. Accepted sizes and fees

The district’s geography also matters. Its about page identifies the facility at 8730 Lake Road in Seville and excludes the City of Rittman and Village of Creston from the district. A nearby address or Medina County association is not enough to establish access. District and location

Use this pre-trip checklist:

  • Identify the tire type before counting the load.
  • Confirm that every accepted tire will arrive off its rim.
  • Count the tires for this visit.
  • Check district residency and the proof required.
  • Confirm the current specialty-waste hours, entrance and payment method.
  • Ask the facility about any tire that does not clearly match its list.

Keep the answer for an unusual load specific: “this size and type” is more useful than a general assurance that the site takes tires.

Why the old flyer can send you wrong

A County-hosted household-hazardous and specialty-waste flyer marked updated November 2023 includes larger tire categories that conflict with the present accepted-items page. It also uses an older facility address. That makes it a historical reference, not sufficient trip authorization. Archived flyer

The practical difference is the order of the decision. First establish whether the live list accepts the item and whether your household belongs to the district; only then plan the route and payment. Do not load rejected tire types because an older PDF once listed them.

Keep the trip record small

A useful note needs only the facility name, checked date, tire count/type, confirmed entrance and quoted charge. Save any receipt after delivery. This is your own disposal record, not proof of a statewide hauling exemption or a guarantee that staff will accept an inaccurately described load.

This guide compares the current facility instructions and district page against the dated flyer. It reports that specific document conflict; it does not rate the facility or survey regional disposal prices.
