Track the pile as it grows
Choose one person to record tire additions and note unusual surges, such as seasonal changes or fleet replacement projects. A basic log with date, location and estimated tire type can help forecast when the next pickup should occur.
For several locations, keep separate records rather than combining all tires into one company-wide estimate. Site-level information is more useful when arranging routes.
Keep storage orderly and controlled
Use the site’s established storage area and maintain clear access around it. Avoid letting tires spill into walkways or work areas. Check for standing water and follow applicable fire-safety, mosquito-control and environmental guidance for your location.
Storage rules differ by jurisdiction and business type. Georgia EPD provides outdoor tire-storage mosquito-control guidance; contact the relevant agency or local authority for requirements that apply to your site.
Request service before the pile becomes difficult
Do not wait until the collection area is full to start planning. Share current volume, tire types and access details with your service provider and ask about scheduling options.
A regular check-in can reveal whether the cadence still fits. Adjust it when operations change, rather than allowing a temporary increase to become a long-term storage problem.
