What is a tyre disposal service?
When you purchase new tyres, we can dispose of your old ones for just £3 (including VAT), or you have the option to take them home for disposal yourself.
What happens to the tyres you dispose of?
We partner with a leading UK tyre collector and processor. They process and repurpose tyres to recycle them and reuse them in a variety of products. These include artificial turf infill, playground rubber mulch, carpet underlay and road surfacing.
You used to dispose of tyres in this way and the cost was included in the price. Why are you charging separately for it now?
We have always charged for the disposal service. We have now updated the way we break down the total price to show you the cost of disposal.
Do I get a discount with my Halfords Motoring Club membership?
Yes. The 5% discount received with HMC premium membership will apply to your tyre disposal service.
Can I buy tyres without paying the service?
- Yes. If you decide you do not want to pay the fee, you will need to take your old tyres with you and repurpose or suitably dispose of them, for example, at a Household Recycling Centre. Please note that councils may charge a fee of around £3 per tyre
- For a walk-in appointment, you'll be asked if you'd like us to dispose of your tyres for you or you can take them home with you to dispose of.
- We don't automatically add the tyre disposal service on our online bookings, so you'd need to make sure you select this option if you would like us to dispose of your tyres for you. If you haven't selected this when placing your booking but would like us to dispose of them please let our fitter know and they can add this additional cost to your booking.
