Had a firm in today to clear up old tyres and was very happy with the service. Some really old stuff and 40 odd big trailer and lorry type tyres

These would be baled as they included a lot of old ones that were badly decaying.What they do with them afterwards I have no idea.
He did say they no longer make them into chips.
They`ve resurfaced part of the M1 with some....https://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/m1-resurfaced-recycled-tyres/

Grassman, glad you were happy with the service! We're just as happy, a cup of tea and help loading!
Farmer_joe, these tyres are being baled up as we speak and will be exported to India where they go through a process called Pyrolosis which converts all the rubber to oil and gas whilst leaving steel wire and the original carbon black. - Alex (Range Rubber UK Limited)

We collect tyres nationwide so Bath is not a problem at all - I'm not sure what the rules are in this forum for sharing phone numbers etc. so I'll err on the side of caution and ask for you to find our number or email and I'll get you a quote!

Had a price of £50 each to get rid of rear tractors tyres 16.9/38,at our tyre fitters when fitting new on.
When my dad got rid of a few hundred a few years ago, he used an official disposal company. Apparently they just baled them and then used the bales to make landscaped hills and mounds. There was also apparently a raised horse menage built from the bales.

Its a shame we don't do our own pyrolosis in this country with all our waste plastics and rubber.

Why do your own dirty job when you can export the problem and pretend to be a virtuous country.....that seems to be the UK way!
