Pile of old tyres

[ollie989898]

Lots of tyres get processed and burnt to produce the heat for making cement.

We save them up till we get a trailer load and take them to the local tyre recycling. I’m sure it was £85/t last time.

Not a million miles away from me is a very very large heap of tyres covering around 4 to 5 acres to a height of 30 ft.Been there for many years,a massive hazard waiting to occur !!

 

[Paddington]

Local recycling centre takes car tyres, but only four at a time, might take awhile.

A chap not far from here got served a notice by the council ordering to get rid of a massive heap in a remote field. He reused them by fencing the field using them in piles in a dry wall fashion

I got a whole heap collected 3-4 months back to clear the yard up - wasn't crazy money and nice to have them out the way. It was surprising how many piles we'd accumulated here and there across the yard that didn't look much until they were all placed in one pile.

Who did you use, we had a pick up truck load dumped in one of our fields last autumn and a pile of our own to get shot of

I used National Tyre Recycling. It was a toss up between them and SITR - both were the same price for the tractor tyres I had to shift, but NTR were cheaper on the car tyres at 85p each - they loaded them.

Keep them safe ... you might need them for your vehicles in the future when anarchy rules the world

Thank me later

That's a good idea. Can I store them at your place in the meantime ?

NTR are quoting me £1.50 per car tyre.

Ouch! NTR did mine for 85p per tyre a few months back IIRC. SITR were £1 or thereabouts.

Range rubber did mine. No problems. Lower bill than I was fearing at first.

I would be determined to get rid of the things, lorry sidewalls are easier to handle and don't hold water (less rats)- I think having stacks of tyres around the place is just a liability that will get worse in time.

And bloody ugly...absolutely hate the things laid about...when I get a new tyre I always pay to get the old one taken away

You can. No problem

Shall we say 10p per tyre?
Per day ...

We had some collected by our local tyre recycling firm and I thought we were doing the right thing but when I asked what happened to them they said lots of them are sent to India and burnt in their power stations!

Exactly you pay a company get a ticket then they go in a container to who knows where you really wonder if you doing the right thing...

 

[JeepJeep]

Yup Baled and sent to India for power stations. They used to take them after 1st shred but I'm not 100% you can export it that way now.
