Old Tire Disposal Question

[azokie]

For those out there that change their own tires and do the same for others, how do you dispose of the old tires?

I don't toss them in the dumpster at work, that would be illegal.

A lot of motorcycle shops will take your old tires away and dispose of them properly for a fee. Call your local shops.

The current price for disposal is $5.00 per tire in Cali thanks to the epa

I have a friendly local garage that let's me toss 'em in the pile of used car tires out back.

Another guy I know cuts the old ones up with a sawzall and puts the pieces in a garbage bag with the regular trash. No idea if that's allowed or not.

Used to take them to a Waste Mangement site, and pay a $7.00 fee. Then I found out that my local Sears auto center will take them at no charge.

My city has a hazardess waste disposal day, they take tires not on rims.

I pile 'em up in the back yard next to where I dump the oil.

We have a county recycle center; they take tires there. (the state has a tire impact fee if you buy a new tire so they get their money upfront if you buy the tire in-state).

Our county also has recycling centers. You can bring four tires at a time, no charge.

I change tires for my friends, the cost to them is they have to take our tires to the local dump. No extra charge past the yearly dump fee.

I don't throw them in the dumpster either [even tho they sort them out at the landfill].

I take them to the dump, known as the "convience center", and pay one buck to have them do whatever is they do with them.

 

[Crash Cash]

If the trash pickup doesn't take them, there's a bunch of places around here to toss stuff. Wipe any fingerprints off first, though!

EDIT: if you think I'm going to pay for the landfill to take them, after I've already paid the Florida tire disposal fee, you're sadly mistaken.

Ours down this way is 2.00 a tire, but they limit us to 4 a year. According to the good-ol-boy network, it is legal (here) to cut up the tires in pieces and throw them in the dumpster. I can't confirm and haven't followed up.

My son works for a tire retailer and they charge 4.00 for disposal. The things is he tells me that they turn around and sell the tires to a place that grinds them up to put in rode tar and other recycling uses.

What's wrong with that picture???? :angry:

Walmart. $1.50 / tire.

In West Virgina illustrated that they can be placed on your front lawn or next to your trailer home.

I have a very nasty, ole coot neighbor who scares the kids...

I burn the old tires in his backyard

<NOT>

Local tire center here let's me toss them in their pile of tires for disposal...

I hide them in the back of my wife's closet when she's not looking. Its going to suck when she finds them.
