The correct way to dispose of tyres ?

ollie989898 · May 26, 2020

I thought they were ground up into a fine powder, the wire removed and then the stuff was burned to produce the heat for making cement. No reason it could not be burned for electricity.

I'd pay to get rid of every one of the things because they will only be a liability going forward.

how much do they charge for tractor rears ?

David. · May 26, 2020

Tractor rears filled with odd bits of surplus concrete mix, until they are full up make perfect gateway blockers, that are easily moved with pallet tines, but not with much else.

Advertise them locally, lots of people using them as garden planters, or sand pits for the kids. You can make a few quid too. That’s what we do.

Western Tyres Ltd produce tyre bales to the PAS 108 standard.
Tyre bales are used in many major projects involving landfill engineering including road construction, land erosion, wall construction, roads for wind farms, riverbanks, ponds and dam construction.

The problem with this is, the tyres going in to PS108 bales need to be clean, free from exposed wires, contamination - i.e. tyres that have come straight off a car at end of life. I am sure some of the tyres that go in arent to spec but they cant use the 1000-2000 tyres in a pile in the nettles that have wire sticking out and full of mud or cow muck that most farm tyres have

I went for a tour round Buxton Lime Industries a few years ago, the Uks biggest cement producer. Amazing place that uses thousands of tyres, amongst other stuff as it’s heat and power supply. No waste at all, fantastically efficient.

Or as mentioned already sell them locally to all the local gym bunnies to work out at home. I’ve sold a few like that lately.

I’ve given away 4 tractor tyres now to some loonatic that wants to flip them over in their back garden or pound them with a sledgehammer.
I just pay to have them taken away now when I get a new tyre....can’t stand the things laid about

Don’t make out like you recycle your tyres Iv seen that ploom of black smoke bellowing out of hixon on a Sunday night [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Farm 2000 or Dragon Heat boiler to produce hot water (at night) for the swimming pool or a big storage tank, powered by Dunlop coal. It used to happen, and probably still does!

Often wondered how much work would be involved in installing a secondary flue burner to kill the smoke.

My tyre supplier takes tractor rear tyres away for £20 each when he fits new ones. To me that’s hardly a cost worth worrying about and a useful service. Wouldn’t buy a round of drinks at the pub so I don’t why know why people have to make it into such a difficulty to do the right thing.

Range rubber are good and not too far from you. I used them no problems.

Edit. They are on here but I can't seem to find them

I would love to load few silage trailers up with my old tyres ,and tip them in a bad payers field late one night .
You know who you are...

JeepJeep · May 27, 2020

We used to tip Artic loads of tyres in there.

its some set up for sure.

Was told when I first went in there that with the gate fee to tip the tyres they were at a minus figure to produce a bag of cement.

They weren't the cheapest but they had the capacity to keep shredding when Plan A and B had come to stop.
