Update on tire dumping in Detroit

[@MrMariobig]

Find the closest tire shop in that area and you will find your tire dumpers

[@EP1CNELSON]

i dont know, there was a tire shop that was 25 miles away that was dumping tires close to me

[@arijan5079]

@@EP1CNELSON because someone probably lived nearby. So he/she dumped the tires on the way home

[@nixel5695]

I’m sure you can check their bookkeeping to see how many they replace and how many they pay to dispose of

[@1982MCI]

@@nixel5695 those types of places don’t have book keeping or records, most operate on a cash basis and it goes straight into their pocket and there is no paper trail of any kind. They do not operate like your chain store tire centers do that would have records of how many tires came thru the store and then your idea would have merit but the corner tire shop run by uncle Eddie and the gang, well, they can’t hardly count to 4 let alone keep records of how many tires they’ve sold this month. It was a valid, good thought tho

[@leeheongow8014]

@@nixel5695, somebody of authority has to check the books periodically for the receipts on disposals of tires to the numbers of tires changed. There you will have the culprits!!!!

[@nicholashartzler2205]

The dumpster wasn't missing... the city forgot to pick it up and the company was charging them the monthly rental fee that was hiding with all the other charges the city probably pays.

[@snowflakehunter]

proof???

[@rmoberley]

Exactly!

[@marcjustmarc6990]

Tires should have a redemption fee like plastic bottles and aluminum cans rather than the current disposal fee paid when you buy new ones. If people dig through trash cans for bottles and cans to turn in at recycling centers for extra cash, you would get the same enthusiasm by people going picking up discarded tires as well. Tire shops would also be motivated to properly dispose them .

[@billiamc1969]

When you buy tires, you pay a disposal fee

[@spritemon98]

7/25/18.....So 1 yr later the original dumped tires were hauled away---5 homes were torn down--- But MORE dumped tires + dumped trash filled dumpstet on the side of the street. Now another "call out" for volunteers to come clear out this area again! HOW did these people let this happen again?

[@davidedwards2868]

Thanks for going back .

[@djorgen104]

My county here in NJ has an annual tire amnesty program. Residents can dispose of a certain number and type for free, while commercial entities can pay a fee (less than regular commercial disposal, which if you've seen any news about the many, MANY Philadelphia area tire and junkyard tire fires especially this year, commercial disposal doesn't actually seem to dispose of anything) for disposal of large quantities or other types of tires. The tires are ground down and the materials sifted. The belting gets recycled as scrap metal while the remainder is used as roadbed material.

[@JohnNNJ]

People also build houses out of them.

[@douglasmacomber2277]

Back in 1994 I was in a car accident. My parents driveway was pee stone. I couldn't get in or out of it. So I hired a friend to hot top the driveway. After he dug out the roots from a tree and dug out the rest of the dirt . He brought in ground up tires and used asphalt for the base. I asked him about that? He told me he started using that material cause it fluctuates with the temperature and prevents cracks. 20 something years later driveway looks great!!!

[@abadyahhannah98]

They need a recycling plant/place where ppl can take their unwanted tires to, to be recycled....

Car companies spend billions to produce one car model but nothing to getting rid of it at the end of its life cycle ...10/13/2017

[@oldguyblues]

How about arrest people for dumping tires

[@NotfromDetroit]

If I was on the board I would request all tire disposal receipts from all tire companies in the local area.

[@celica02perronfurioso21]

You a one good reporter love it 👍🏾😉

[@g00glechr0me8]

This is the states fault....they should not charge you money to recycle old tires!...they already charge you a recycling fee when you buy new tire then they want you pay a fee to recycle old tires! Change the damn law to free recycling like like it is with old batteries/used motor oil/cans and plastics and bottles.

[@ironman332]

the things you said companies make money off of but tires no.in ny theres a longisland company that you have to pay for each tire they take but they make dolly wheels play ground mates and other stuff

[@hclvchef]

how do you know those tires werent brought in from another state, where a tire fee wasnt collected? you dont know - thats why you have to charge, genius

[@myredfast]

hclvchef you offer no solution , just problems. At least OP is trying to think of solutions. Make it like can recycling, charge the fee when new and offer a redemption on used tires no matter where they came from... trust those tires will be cleaned up

[@bobr7206]

Exactly . Us that pay for new tires pay the fee. All they have to do is use the money properly to have them disposed of right. Not with some damn CRACKHEAD

[@joycewoodruff6594]

so what they charge you money. they charge you money for the tires and to put them on your car. we all gotta eat. so that's somebody pay

[@iball310369]

Check the local companys records. For every tire sold they need a receipt to show that the old one was disposed if correctky. Make them accountable. Job done

Marc Justmarc is exactly right let's put a return for deposit casting in the side of each new tire produced charge a 5 dollar per tire fee and use half the money from that to purchase old unstamped tires. The piles would disappear overnight. There are lots of products that can be made out of old tires.

[@MondoBeno]

Another missed opportunity. The state of Michigan could open a tire recycling center, it would be cheaper than putting out tire fires. Then they could've offered county jail prisoners a reduced sentence for community service, and have them help move the tires. They can be incinerated and the ashes used to make cinderblocks.

Those tires are very dangerous. If they catch on fire they burn hot and for a long time also it is very difficult to put a tire fire out.

[@georgebarnes8163]

also very useful, here in the UK practically all tyres are recycled, metal is separated and the rubber ground down fine and used for resurfacing roads which are much better than plain tarmac roads.

at that point the city should impliment a audit to check the tires a shop replaces vs how many they dispose of and leave the shops who dont pay to dispose of their tires correctly on the hook for the clean up of this. example if i own a shop and i can show proof of paying to dispose of tires properly id be fine if i couldnt provide the proof id get a portion of the cost to clean it up. the fact council is to dense to see that shows they dont care

Instead blaming the city and mayor over the clean up, while warranted was skipping a couple of steps. They solved the symptoms, not the problem. Simply placing a bucket under a leaky tap.
