The proper disposal of used car tires
prevents many potentially harmful effects on the environment. For
this reason, tire disposal practices are regulated by the
government. It's important for vehicles owners to know the safe and
legal methods of tires disposal. Here's a few suggestions for how to
dispose of used tires.
#1-Bring
used tires to either a tire retailer, service station or
local recycling facility that accepts and must then recycle
tires. First, confirm that the selected location is
currently accepting used tires.
#2-Use
old tires in the garden. Clean used tires with warm
soapy water and rinse. Place in yard and fill with
potting soil. Add your favorite plant or flowers for
a decorative accent to increase curb appeal. Cover
the tire with topsoil and plant flowers to create a
beautiful flower covered mound.
#3-Make
a tree swing for hours of fun. Choose a tree with a
strong branch and decide on a horizontal or vertical
swing. Purchase nylon rope specifically made for
weight bearing. Consult with home improvement
professional about attaching swing to tree.
Remember:
Keeping used tires in an uncovered, outdoor
pile where disease carrying pests can inhabit them
poses health risks.
Not only is it
illegal to burn tires, but tire
fires also release pollutants into
the air, soil and water that can
be harmful to humans and the
environment.
