SteveMc Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I’m looking into changing my own tires for convenience, and am wondering how to dispose of the old tires. Besides tire swings and lawn art, what do you do with your old tires?
OoPEZoO Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 mine get picked up at the curb on trash day. I guess it depends on the area you live in, but after checking with my local boro office....I found out that I can put up to two tires out per pickup day.
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 My local automotive tire shop accepts used tires for disposal for a fee of $3 each.
effexer1 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 We pay the $3.00 fee for disposal when we buy new tires. We can drop off any amount of old tires at any place that sells tires. YMMV.
SteveMc Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I guess it depends on where you live. I'll ask around locally and see if tire dealers or a recycler will take them.
Polo Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I used to give them away to my friend's Kendo Students for Bokken practice. Now I go behind the local Discount Tire ro Wall Mart and toss'em on top of their pile. They sell them to recyclers. I'd try a different tire supplier if I were you, they seem to be double dipping, unless the laws on the matter are that different between States.
stubble! Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Our local dump recycles them. $5 each I think. Easy.
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 And if you take them to the dealer, pay the recycle fee and toss them over the rail into the tire pen, it's a few dollar's cheaper.
Matts_12GS Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The goodyear tire store down the street from me lets me toss mine on his pile for free.
