Biloxi Gulfport, MS, October 25, 2026 —
The Pass Christian Fire Department is reminding residents not to leave old tires along roadsides. The department directs residents to take them to the Rocko-McFarland Household Hazardous Waste Site on Lorraine Road in Gulfport.
The site accepts tires during its regular monthly opening on the second Saturday of each month, from 8 a.m. to noon. Residents who need to use the site on a weekday can make an appointment by calling 228-896-0206.
The department’s notice lists limits on the number and type of tires accepted. A resident may bring up to five tires per visit, with a maximum of 25 tires per household annually. Tires must be removed from their rims. Tractor tires are not accepted.
Residents planning a drop-off should account for those requirements: the per-visit limit is five tires, the annual household limit is 25, and tires must be off the rim. The site does not accept tractor tires. Weekday access is by appointment, while the listed regular opening is the second Saturday of each month.
The notice does not specify when the reminder was issued, whether the site charges a fee, or what penalties, if any, apply to roadside dumping. It also does not provide details about other materials accepted at the household hazardous waste site. The information provided by the department focuses on proper tire disposal and the site’s hours, appointment arrangements and acceptance limits.
