Lankytim Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Y0 shitterz I've got a load of tyres I need to get rid of, all scrap. I used to drop them in the wheelie bin but the binmen have got wise to me. How do you lot get rid of them?

Matt Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Do tyre garages sell the ones they swap over or have to pay for them to be taken away? Failing that as above I'm sure a local farmer would take them or maybe offer them for free to whoever collects on Freecycle/Gumtree.
Eddie Honda Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Don't know about your local council, but when I lived in Bucks, they'd take tyres at the tip, but would relieve you of some money. At the time it was £2.50 a tyre. Looked it up now, can't see charges, but they'll only take up to 5. Change jacket, parting and vehicle, then repeat.
Parky Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Have you got a local go-kart track who might need some crash barrier?? Failing that paint half red and half white and build a chicane on your nearest main road. Just for the lolz... Sloth in a bowl, cms206 and CGSB 3
brickwall Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 A place here takes them for nowt cos they build them bouncy soft tarmac paths and stuff. mouseflakes, Lacquer Peel and Pillock 3
Eddie Honda Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Or move to France and build a house out of them. Must be true, seen it on that Grand Designs bollocks.
Lacquer Peel Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I'm not sure exactly where you live LT, but at least one recycling centre in your area takes tyres for disposal. http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/environment/rubbishwasteandrecycling/recyclingcentres/CheadleRecyclingCentre.aspx

J-Rod Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I think it's OK just to burn them in your garden. No need for a wood burner either. Just do it. No-one really minds. Christine and pshome 2
lisbon_road Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 My local tyre place knows me and will take them for free, though I might be pushing my luck with a van load.
Christine Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 November 5th ! in the garden , like he said / \
Mr A Lawrence Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Nearest canal or country road in a farmers gateway??
Lankytim Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 NB, I don't want to pay to dispose of them.
Lacquer Peel Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Local authority shouldn't charge, they don't mention it on their website, but don't go in with large amounts. Grow some tatties in them?
Lankytim Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 On their PDF tyres are on a list of items they *may* charge for. Maybe I should just ring up or something. Funny how they don't charge for scrap metal or car batteries. Richard, Cavcraft, Lacquer Peel and 1 other 4
anonymous user Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Another thought is, you could buy scrap cars with good tyres on, swap the good tyres for your bad ones, then weigh the car in to get rid of the bad tyres and sell the good tyres on gumtree/ebay. I'm sure there may be a flaw in this somewhere, but I can't see it myself The Moog, Conrad D. Conelrad, Tamworthbay and 1 other 4
Lankytim Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 You're correct. The flaw is that scrapyards charge for tyres.
Alexg Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Drive round to your local tyre merchant after hours and lob them in their skip. Lacquer Peel 1
Tamworthbay Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Paint them white and find someone who wants to go to a fancy dress party as Michelin man? Eddie Honda 1
primeradoner Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I just take them to our local council operated tip/recycling centre and get rid FOC but recently I was stopped and told max of 5 tyres per visit. There is also a place nearby that shreds them for reuse but they charge 75p plus Vat a tyre. To be fair though the bloke who counts them must have been off school every tuesday when they had double maths alf892 and Christine 2

Taff Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 O/p, just chuck them in the canal, along with any old car batteries. Remember, the baby Jesus loves a nice big splash! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk tinribs and Clanger 2
anonymous user Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 How many tyres are we talking of? Do you know anyone with a boat?
sierraman Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Chuck them over a lamppost. Or if they are really old and fucked, take them to the part worn tyre 'specialist' near Rotherham. cobblers 1
