How to get rid of used tires?

Should be able to fold them in half to fit in the can, but otherwise a grinder with a cutoff wheel will do a better job at cutting them. Not without a god awful mess and stink though. I'd be more inclined to toss them in a tire shops tire pile.
Regarding your scrap metal stuff, nobody should be charging for that. The scrapers will come take it for free, or you can drop it off at a metal recycler yourself and get a couple bucks.

Trash won't take them unless they're cut up. Some place require cutting them into four pieces. An intact tire will keep resurfacing at the dump. That's why they won't take them whole.

That's illegal and if they get your plate.....

I called about ten different places or pick-up services. Everyone of them advertised as free. Everyone of them wanted money when I tried to use them.

Don't ask how I know........ Tires fit real nice in a black contractor grade garbage bag. Allegedly they will blend right in if placed in a roller trash can with general household trash.
