Are you collecting New York's $2.50 fee on new tire installs?

New York requires tire services to collect a $2.50 waste-tire management and recycling fee on most new tires sold at retail. Since September 1, 2025, a service installing new tires it did not sell generally must also collect the fee unless the buyer shows that it was previously paid. The fee is separately stated, is not subject to sales tax, and certain tires and buyers are exempt.
