This is very affordable and still covers a wide range of costs, including transport, storage, management and contracts with waste transporters. This is definitely a worthwhile option for getting rid of old tires.

The 6 main dangers of used tires

  • They are a favorite breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can be carriers of the virus.
  • Tires can be home to rodents, snakes, lice, and other potential disease vectors.
  • They catch fire easily, can burn for months, and are almost impossible to extinguish.
  • The tires take up a lot of space, leading to illegal dumping in other areas, often in woods and rivers.
  • Piles of used rubber can cause injury or death to workers: tires can roll over and fall on people.
  • If rubber is put into the ground, it can contaminate groundwater with toxins, with dramatic consequences.
  • Tires can trap methane gas, making them dangerous for buoyancy or hitting the ground.

The scrap rate for tires is 1.1 tires per person per year, or about 300 million tires per year. Most tires go to landfills, so recycling is essential to eliminate these dangers.
