Walmart Tire Recycling Fees if Keeping Tires?

Perhaps it depends upon the state, but when I have asked, the tire store told me they are legally obligated to collect the tire disposal fee for every new tire sold.
that's how it works here, you pay for future disposal of any new tyre you buy. in return, tyre dealers have to accept any old tyre you bring back even if you don't buy new.
when I had tires mounted at Discount Tire and was keeping the old tires they were taking off, they removed the disposal fee (after I pointed it out)...there was no hesitation...
good luck with Walmart...I'd expect them to do the same for you...

The fee is to dispose of the tires you just bought, some time in the future, not the tires you are leaving them. So no, you are not entitled to any funds.

Collect the recycling fee and the tire customer is more likely to dispose of them right then and there.
What if you buy snow tires and swap them onto your one set of rims? Taking your good 3 season tires home is what you'd do.

New York has a Disposal Fee of $2.25, and a $2.50 Purchase Fee.
So they get you both ways when you buy a new tire.
A couple of years ago I bought 2 new tires and saved one for a spare. They took off one disposal fee.

They let me keep 1 tire when I had 4 new tires put on our Sentra and deducted the fee.
I could play that game and take them old tractor tires. Big ones, too.
Yeah that’s not at all how it works in Wisconsin.
It’s nearly impossible to get rid of used tires unless you are buying a tire.
Didn’t used to be this way but post pandemic you can’t even pay to get rid of a tire as no one will take it including the towns hazardous waste and collection drives.
Only way I can get rid of them is by placing aN anonymous curb alert for free tires on Craigslist , most dissappear.
nor here in Illinois...
I didn’t pay the fee in Ohio since the cc2s I was replacing had 8/32nds on them. Figured someone of Facebook will give me something for them. I did have to get a manager involved just to get my tires though. I have 2 sets of factory rims, I took the rims in that weren’t mounted to the car and said, “put the pro contacts on these rims” and if you have time after to put the wheels on the car, fine. If not I can do it at home. I’d rather have done it myself so I knew it was done right. I didn’t get a mile down the road and one of Walmarts finest calls me up and says they can’t give me road hazard on the new tires. Mind you, I have their stupid membership for the purpose of never having to walk in the store, and road hazard. The reasoning was, I didn’t physically leave my car there. It got straightened out after and I read there policies back to them. They checked the car in initially, got the mileage off the car the tires were going to be associated with. One can’t loathe this store enough, and sometimes a few dollars saved just isn’t worth it! There’s a reason why the average star rating for any given Walmart is a 1.6. There’s also a reason I’ll drive 2 miles past Walmart to go to Meijer.
I never pay it. I keep all my old tires and burn them during the winter for heat.
