A funded Legend Regional Council tyre amnesty. Register your household or property, bring your old car, 4WD and farm tyres to a participating site during February, and we'll make sure every tyre is recycled — and tracked all the way there.
Places are limited, so registration is required to reserve your drop-off.

Why now
Worn tyres collect behind sheds, in paddocks and along fence lines. Stockpiles are a fire risk, hold water that breeds mosquitoes, and too many end up buried or dumped. Getting them to a proper recycler has been costly and awkward, especially for big farm tyres. This amnesty makes it free, local and simple, for a limited window.
Figures indicative — set per program.
How it works
1. Register online
Residents and landholders tell you their suburb, roughly how many tyres and what kind, and their preferred site and week. Registration reserves a spot and helps the council manage capacity and program budget.
2. Drop off — free
They bring tyres to their booked site during their window. No charge; the on-site team counts each tyre by type against the registration at drop-off.
3. Recycled & tracked
An accredited tyre recycler processes them — and every tyre is counted and tracked from drop-off to recycling, so the council has a verified record.
Register
Two minutes. Registration lets the council manage capacity and budget across the window; residents get a confirmation with their site and drop-off window.
This form is for illustration and doesn’t submit. In a live program, each registration flows into the council’s Tidal Shift dashboard — reserving a place within the per-site and per-week caps, holding the program to budget, and sending the resident an automatic confirmation with their site and window.

Behind the scenes
The program runs on Tidal Shift — so the council manages the whole amnesty in one place, stays on budget, and can account for every tyre.
Registration & capacity
Households register online; the council caps numbers per site and week to stay within budget.
Chain of custody
Every tyre is counted at drop-off and again at delivery, so the numbers reconcile end to end.
Verified reporting
Volumes, recovery and program cost in one dashboard — evidence for funding and reporting.
