How To Get Rid And Dispose Of Tyres

Disposing old tyres could be a challenging task due to their shape and non-biodegradability. The conventional method of tyre disposal is stockpiling or dumping illegally. These methods can only provide a short term solution. They’re normally made of a mixture of steel, textile and rubber, often having traces of oil and other chemicals present. There are various ways to recycle tyres, either for cash or as a DIY project.  The 2006 EU Landfill Directive means that tyres are no longer accepted to landfill sites and virtually all end-of-life tyres are recycled or reused in some way.
