Collection Guidelines

Can two people lift it?
Is my pile smaller than the bed of a pick-up truck?

If the answers to these two questions are yes, then kick those items to the curb!

Tire Disposal

Altoona has partnered with Metro Waste Authority for a tire drop-off event April 10-11, from 8:00 AM-4:00 PM. During this event, residents can drop off up to five tires (no rims) at the Altoona Streets Shop (406 5th Ave. SW) free of charge.
