Getting rid of scrap tires on scrap wheels

Is there anywhere in PG I can take scrap mounted tires/wheels without getting charged?
I've accumulated a ton of them. If there isn't anywhere to take them I will proceed to sawzalling them off I guess.

Tried listing them on kijiji for free?
I know I have trouble turning down free...hence why I may or may not have 3 good tracks for a Diesel Gator...

I hate dealing with people so I really don't want to put them up for free... And I mean these are trash. We're talking a stock Jeep Cherokee wheel that's rusted to shit with a tire on it with 4 random flat spots, or a Dodge dually wheel that was the spare and has a tire on it that was made in '97 at the same time as the truck.
I guess I could and hope for the best.

Leave them in a pile by the road side. Sooner or later some drunk teenagers with a flare gun will solve the problem.

Auto wrecker or anyone crushing cars for scrap will take them with out charge. I usually volunteer to put them in the trunks of cars so it looks like I’m doing them a favour. Adds to the over all weigh of their scrap cars

fyi you should be able to separate the widewall from the bead with a simply olfa knife. Just slice around the wheel above the bead, no need for a sawzall.
