Pile of old tyres

[Swagger]

We have inherited a pile of tyres which used to cover a silage clamp. What's the best way of getting rid of them ?

Pay for collection ,

 

[Kidds]

Pay a company to collect them or take them to them. Costs about 85p per car tyre all legal and paperwork to say so.

November the 5th ! That's the official night to dispose of tyres .

Another thread just started, Fred Dibna liked to use them, to bring chimneys down.

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.

Seen them used as a feature wall in a garden project looks quite good obviously not a retaining wall. Would have said the guy used 400 car tyres. Now with some soil inserted and various garden plants it is a really fantastic sight as its matured
. Layed flat layer upon layer bridging each other about five deep around a pond

They sometimes bury them and use them as a soak away (honestly)

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!

So all he's done is is pass the headache 2 fold on to another generation.
just pay to get them processed and recycled. It's not exactly dear.

Plenty get used in tarmac too.

Farmer near us put an advert on Facebook and sold them, lots of people making sand pits for the kids apparently

Just pay to get them gone. They are nothing but a liability for future years.

 

[Werzle]

Bury them

Not really as he has used it in more than one landscape project and has been paid for it

There’s neighbor’s here that are happy to take planter gauge wheel tyres. There’s some using vehicle tyres to make stock mats for alley corners etc. Some are using the beads on silage piles. I see some tractor tyres turned inside out for feeders, watch closely for wires, never had the issue but heard, also elderly neighbor like planting gardens in them, less leaning over. If needing a dollar (with commodity prices here we’re gonna have to get creative) there’s options otherwise pay to recycle. I’ve cleaned enough of them up in random bushes, fences, buried, from the previous owner of the farm. Gives a bad taste.

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

Thank me later
