Ditching old car tyres, HOW??


Recommended Posts

Posted

All the council tips in the Stoke area charge £4 a tyre! Robbing bastards, no wonder people dump them!

It would be a real shame if you left your scrap tyres outside tyre force when they are closed, they are probably better condition than half the part worn shit they sell

Hi all.

I've ended up with about 20 knackered tyres to get rid of. I was putting them in the wheelie bin one at a time but it involves folding the tyre in half and taping it so it doesn't get stuck in the wheelie bin, ( I got busted the once and was left a note, NO TIRES M8)

Any ideas? I'm considering fly tipping them on one of the cycle routes Cavcraft uses as I think he'll tidy them up and bin them for me.

Ideas??

Put something on ebay with "assorted spares included", collect only.

A few years ago a lorry load of maybe 200+ car and lorry tyres was offloaded on a country track near where I lived. Not good. But the worst bit was they were offloaded off the side of a disused railway bridge into a canal. There were tyres all along the 2 miles up to another bridge where the canal runs into the sea.

 

All had to be fished out again and probably cost thousands of ££££ for the guys and a long-arm digger to recover and then dispose of properly afterwards.

 

Feckin nobshites.

I managed to ditch a couple at work in the big biffa bins today. (our secret, ok?)

Save them up and build a house....

I chop mine up and pop them in the wheelie bin

Find your local ATS/kwik fit and go lob them over the fence where their tyre dump is.

 

Works best if it's on an industrial estate.

^^^^^WHS, find a local tyre shop whose 'old tyre pile' is accessible after they're shut, and give them a few freebies once a week.

Put them at the end of the drive with a sign "For Sale 1 pound each" some fucker will then nick them (also works for fridges, washing machines etc)

Make sure to buy bright yellow ones with biohazard symbols they love* it at the tip when you get those out...

We've now got a tip employee at the entrance, peering in cars to see what you're dumping. Tyres are charged, bin bags need to be opened. You could probably get away with hiding bits of cut up tyre inside something likes chest of drawers but it's all getting a bit ridiculous by then.

 Lucky you. its a fiver in North Lincs ffs

Are they bald, old and no fucking good to anyone? If so most of the part worn tyre outfits in Rotherham might be interested.

Decent burn outs till they pop in the car park of your local McDonald's would reduce the amount of rubber and probably make it easier if you choose to cut them up....

Leave them at your local tyre shop..................at 3 in the morning?

 

(& as Mr.B says - take 'em some freebies in later in the week, donuts or the like!)

Please take them to Bumpers Lane council tip in Chester. The trick is to start taking things out slowly and put them into the correct bin, then as you get to you last ten items play 'wrong skip roulette' with the miserable old bastard who works there. Award yourself 5 points for each piece of cardboard you put in 'non-recycle', 10 points for chipboard in 'waste wood only' and 20 points for tyres in the metal skip. The rules state you have to dump the lot before he shouts 'OI!' and starts moaning at you, and you have to wheel spin off with your boot still open.

I know someone who wheel spun off with the rear hatch open.

They have a height bar at the tip...........

I hope they don't start charging in Rochdale. I've got about 30 in my garden.

Can't throw them yet, they cost £55 each and when we are short of cash we put them back on the car!

Extra points if you don't pick any nails up in your tyres the lazy fuckers should be sweeping up. Instead you'll find the entrepreneurial little spirits finding stuff in the skips to sell on Gumtree, given this is a more financially productive use of their time than sweeping up or other aspects of the job they were employed to do.

I covered for a guy i used to work with as he tried to go in the stoke tip with the boot up on the kia sedona work car and obviously dented the boot, the good thing it was a straight dent with yellow paint in, so i told work we went to tesco in it and a tipper with a yellow bed was parked behind but not there when we left, he would've had to pay a stupid excess if it was his fault

Available at any council run recycling point near you. Miserable bastards may vary from one shown.

 

Tyres in the lay-by®will always be a problem, along with general fly tipping until councils realise that rather than paying a drone to collect abandoned tyres and take them to a suitable place to recycle, why not allow the public/trade to take them there themselves, free of charge and thus avoid the tyres in the lay-by®scenario.

 

Genius!

I've no issue with paying a reasonable fee but £5 a tyre is just punitive. From memory years ago it used to cost 20 or 50p to get rid of the old covers properly.
