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.

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.

Consequently, fly-tipping has increased exponentially. P.S.

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.

I was kind of lazy and put an old scooter tire in the new tire box recently and the private trash company just picked it up. So next day I changed the rear and come Friday they did the same again. I thought I was going to have to go to a tire store. Lucky me.

My tire change place only charges me $2 for a tire. They fix and re-sell any tire that has half way decent tread. They sell the fixed, used, ones for $25. A nice little side stream of income for the tire shop.

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.”

Florida 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 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.

@@Youknewthatalready how would one dispose of them for free? (Assuming not just tossed into a ditch somewhere) i never had to lift a finger, either. No cutting up, flattening, tying, stuffing in a bin, then going in the house and cleaning up. Nothing. No knife needed, no saw needed, no soap needed, no water needed, no towel used or laundered. When looking at the convenience of not having to do all that, I am OK with it.

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. :)
