Wheels for Warmth
The 2026 Wheels for Warmth event returns Thursday, October 29 through Saturday, October 31, 2026.
For information about this year's event, visit the Wheels for Warmth Website, here. Information will be shared in early September.
Established in 2005, Wheels for Warmth has three goals: raise funds for emergency heating assistance for distribution through Vermont's Community Action Agencies; create a resource of DMV-inspected tires that are deemed safe for at least one season of use, to be sold to Vermonters in need at reasonable prices; and provide a convenient, inexpensive way to dispose of unwanted tires, reducing the number of tires discarded in rivers or along our roadways. For event information, visit the Wheels for Warmth Website.
Used tires are collected at various locations around Vermont during the month of October. They are inspected by DMV officials at donation drop-off locations in across the state, including additional, non-DMV locations as well. Tires that pass inspection are then sold to the public, with proceeds supporting the Warmth Support Program.
Wheels for Warmth is an annual event that helps to provide emergency heating assistance for vulnerable Vermonters through the Warmth Support Program. All funds collected are redistributed to those in need, and will help to keep our community warm all season long.
