Scrap Car Tire Recycling

As we’ve touched on in previous articles, the disposal of old or scrap motor vehicle tires is a persistent problem for many communities. As a company that pays cash for junk cars, we are more familiar with the problem then we wish we were! What happens to the old tires when you junk cars for cash or sell the vehicle to someone who buys scrap cars? Those in the industry of scrapping cars will often have to pay to have the stacks of old scrap car tires removed. Our latest news comes from Peoria, IL where Chris Kaergard of pjstar.com posted an article on March 28, 2015 titled ‘Peoria tire recycling event exceeds capacity in first two hours’ with the following report: “In its first week, a tire recycling program in Peoria designed to help clean up neighborhoods has proven so popular that it went over capacity and volunteers had to stop accepting tires after 2 hours; coordinator Julie Eliathamby said they had to halt their collection efforts and ask residents to stop bringing the tires in. The trailer she & others with The Tireless Project had was filled with 1,010 of them and couldn’t take any more.

It was designed as a way for residents to not only dispose of any surplus tires they had, but also to clean up spots in the city where they’d been illegally dumped. The next day scheduled for recycling is April 25 at the same location. Organizers plan to host a drop-off on the 4th Saturday of every month through the end of September. That collection schedule will continue at the same location, but after the popularity of the first day — which was supposed to last from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. but ended up stopping at just after 11 a.m. The limit is 20 tires per resident.”

So this recycling event was a success in that it removed over 1,000 scrap vehicle tires from the area; however, it appears they underestimated the demand for this service. We have reported on “story after story” that reinforces the point that solutions for the environmentally sound disposal of scrap auto tires are in heavy demand. Hopefully more companies that recycle old tires, using them as raw materials for new products begin to develop.
