Liberty Tire Recycling LLC is a small recycling center in St. Martin that people from town and nearby farms use to keep tires and other recyclables out of the landfill. Located on Maine Street, it looks like a working yard rather than a retail place. Locals swing by with trailer loads or car trunks full of material.
Drive in and pull up to a modest entrance area where there’s usually a booth or kiosk and room to queue if it’s busy. Expect piles of materials and labeled containers for common items at recycling centers - tires, scrap metal, and mixed recyclables - and a few covered bays you can back into on cold days. The site is industrial in feel: gravel or paved drives, loading points, and equipment nearby. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to get crowded, so there can be a short wait to get to a drop-off spot.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and secure loads before getting there - separating tires, metal, and mixed recyclables saves time when dumping.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and straps; unloading is usually hands-on and the yard can be dusty or muddy depending on the season.
- Avoid peak times if possible: early mornings on weekdays are often quicker than weekend afternoons, and winter can change where to pull up (many local centers use indoor bays when it’s cold).
