Where I live you pay the disposal charge and the tire store keeps it and takes care of it. But you can take the tire and not pay the charge. My township will take the tire on normal trash day, but only one per week.

​@@barrys.2447 Current through Reg. 50, No. 020; January 30, 2024 Section 62-711.400 - Waste Tire Prohibitions relevant section: Whole waste tires may not be disposed of in a landfill. Waste tires that have been cut into sufficiently small parts may be disposed of or used as initial cover at a permitted landfill. (a) For use as initial cover, a sufficiently small part means that 70 percent of the waste tire material is cut into pieces of 4 square inches or less and 100 percent of the waste tire material is 32 square inches or less. (b) For purposes of disposal, a sufficiently small part means that the tire has been cut into at least eight substantially equal pieces. Any processed tire which is disposed of in a landfill and which does not meet the size requirement of subsection (a) above must receive initial cover, as defined in subsection 62-701.200(53), F.A.C., once every week.

No YOU get charged again. I cut mine up and they go out with the regular trash. The nuisance about tires that landfills don't like is that they take up so much space. They are mostly air and they won't crush or compress. Cut into pieces they don't take up much space at all.

I saw a video, a while back, of a young man in Africa that was doing the same thing. He started it, with just himself, by picking up discarded tires, making the sandals and selling them, cheaply, to folks who couldn't afford shoes. Now, I think he employs about 50 people and folks bring tires to him. He isn't a millionaire, but he is able to put food on peoples tables and provide a needed product.

Sadly, the proliferation of steel-belted radials put an end to that. But there are still some tires out there you can make sandals and new shoe soles from, if you can find them. Racing slicks, for example. I grew up on the bay, and we always cut tires open into long strips and nailed it on the edge of docks, floats, and barges, nearly eliminating impact damage. Nothing is as good for that today. Certainly nothing that cheap and easily acquired.

Here in Hawaii you are not allowed to throw tires in the trash. However, it is not because the tire material is a gross polutant, quite the opposite. Tires are fairly inert. The problem is, when dumped in a landfill they won't stay buried, always end up popping up to the surface. The reason is that the decaying rubish produces a lot of gas. Some of the gas gets trapped in the tire and eventually lifts it to the surface. We are allowed to dump tires if we cut them up first.

In grade school my brother and I used an old tire to make a swing. A very common thing to see, but we used coax cable doubled up. He got the brilliant idea to hold on underneath with both arms and legs wrapped around the tire. After pushing him as high as I could he swung down and when it reached the middle point it broke knocking the wind out of him. He stood up says "Elp Me! Elp Me!" because he could only inhale. Hilarious! I still do the impersonation perfectly. lol

There's a very impressive Africa lady that started to recycle tires in her town. She started small and cut them into pieces, then somehow ground them down. She finally figured out a way to remove the steel radial belts inside, and she did not use, nor could she afford hi tech equipment. She somehow has these workers grind them up to almost a powder form, them moulds them into all kinds of products, giving work to about 40 - 50 workers, which is great. They make stuff like patio stones, door mats, and many other products. I was very impressed. Why can they not make roads out of rubber ? In cold climates they wouldn't crack up, from expansion and contraction with the seasons. Also right now we're using them to make football fields so falls would not cause as many injuries. There is a lot of great things that could be done with rubber, and a lot of people would buy the products.

My county waste transfer station says I can dump 3 tires per visit. It all goes to a huge plastic/rubber-lined dump site, where it will be capped to keep it contained for X number of centuries. By then, the garbage will probably have become a resource, and will be dug out and used for fuel or refined into component materials, to be reused.

A private citizen can easily make 2 trips for more than 3 tires. A business wouldn't have the time to do that & would start to stick out to facility staff. You get these little private garages trying to use these places as their disposal solution otherwise (whether or not they should be able to is a whole different convo).

I went through more than the $3 in blades to save $3. After that I sweet talked Discount Tires into taking 12 tires that I had collected for free when I purchased a set of new tires for my truck. Now I just pay the $3 and take them to the recycling center along with my waste oil.

GREAT for ramps where cows walk!, rubber bumpers on the corner of everything, equipment loading ramps, push bumpers on anything with wheels! so handy! The round ones are super useful over posts at gates! ... you can stack 40 of them on a post, makes it almost immune from being bumped into, THE thing as shown here? is to CUT them up as they are made available, THEN you'll find unlimited use for them! :) Hell my Dad used to SELL them!

I wouldn't want to process more than 3 or 4 tires, but here in what now passes for England, local councils are making the disposal of any type of rubbish increasingly difficult by closing down municipal tips and then putting up multiple hoops for people to jump through before they can dump their rubbish at recycling plants that are still operating. Consequently, fly-tipping has increased exponentially. P.S. Only very recently my local council here in Cambridgeshire announced they will no longer be taking green bins (organic matter) for recycling, yet at the same time, they are increasing council tax. It comes as no surprise that more and more people are refusing to pay council tax, including me! They can FO.

I cut a runflat like that off my Corvette a few years ago. That Rinky dink cutter you got wouldn't go thru the thick sidewall rubber. I used a power saber saw, went thru several blades and burned up the saber saw. Should have just paid the $8 disposal fee.

learning is a hell of a drug. Looks like tires ARE landfills. And can be used as the primary initial-lining material of a landfill. Strange isn't it? The logical disparity of your comment & documented realities? Here is a Florida regulation. Same as the one mentioned by the creator of this video of rmissouri: Current through Reg. 50, No. 020; January 30, 2024 Section 62-711.400 - Waste Tire Prohibitions relevant section: Whole waste tires may not be disposed of in a landfill. Waste tires that have been cut into sufficiently small parts may be disposed of or used as initial cover at a permitted landfill. (a) For use as initial cover, a sufficiently small part means that 70 percent of the waste tire material is cut into pieces of 4 square inches or less and 100 percent of the waste tire material is 32 square inches or less. (b) For purposes of disposal, a sufficiently small part means that the tire has been cut into at least eight substantially equal pieces. Any processed tire which is disposed of in a landfill and which does not meet the size requirement of subsection (a) above must receive initial cover, as defined in subsection 62-701.200(53), F.A.C., once every week.

I have done the same with tires and saved a trip to the dump and the associated fees. I have also done the same with the old carpet in my dining room / den when I replaced it. With my razor knife I cut it into 2 foot wide strips about ten feet long and rolled them up with tape, put them in garbage bags and put them in my barrel to be picked up. The trash guys took it over the course of several weeks and I saved about fifty bucks at the dump for carpet disposal. We have a recycling center for paper cardboard bottles, cans and there is a separate dumpster for "scrap metal" that has a sign that says"No Appliances". When I replaced my electric oven I was able to take it all apart tossing the small parts into our regular trash can... the few panels that were left were no longer an appliance...they were scrap metal that I bent up and folded and they went right in the scrap metal dumpster. Again the local dump charges at least 60 bucks to take a big appliance like a stove. Then I replaced my gas furnace. Took it all apart, small parts for the trash barrel and the panels went to the scrap metal dumpster. All above board and legal. If I were really rich maybe I would literally have the money to throw away, but I don't so I just make these things smaller and get rid of them for free.

Great idea to check your local laws! Here in Missouri this is one option the DNR allows for the disposal of tires. Not many people are aware it’s so easy. dnr.mo.gov/waste-recycling/reduce-reuse-recycle/what-to-do-with-specific/scrap-tires#:~:text=Some%20options%20for%20properly%20disposing,they%20are%20properly%20cut%20first. “Homeowners may dispose of their tires with their household trash as long as they are properly cut first. Either cut the sidewalls out of each tire, creating two sidewalls and the tread ring, or cut each tire through the center of the tread ring (like a bagel) and dispose of the pieces with the household trash. Tires cut in either of these two ways are the only way a permitted sanitary landfill may accept tires for disposal.”

I had to clear out a house in a big city and different state, it seemed like they farmed out "the dump" and I couldn't get a straight answer out of any of them. I borrowed another set of three cans and every other day either the plastic, garbage, or plant truck would show up. One plastic day the truck stopped monetarily and drove away. Never could figure that, maybe the karens with binoculars, I found out later they only want certain types of plastic, I was putting in stuff like cassette tape boxes. Or, maybe they have cameras and record the previous discharge. I had to switch two huge cans over to the garbage cans and a wasted day. It is trippy going back to huge metroplexes after a decade + in the North-woods. The regulations are getting bad. Just the other day I played tires and the owner where my friend works was saying he's having trouble getting rid of them. And logging trucks have so many rules that they won't bring firewood and they drive by all the time empty, I had to build a trailer, even the saw mill owners can't get the loggers, that work for them, to deliver.

I tried to break it apart and nearly broke a window on my car when a chunk flew off, I could only get superficial pieces off and this was with a 20lb sledge.

Why not just bury the tire and plant a tree? Leave the sidewall sticking above grade an inch or so and you can put one wheel of your mower up on there = no trimming. Fill the tire mostly with dirt, cover with black plastic and put some gravel on top = easy breezy and no maintenance. :) And you have the pride of resolving your own disposal problem onsite. :)
