or you could see if your local kart track or racing circuit would be interested in taking them off your hands

Local harbour??? the trawlers use them for side buffers/protectors sometimes. Our local skip site takes them F.O.C.





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

go to kwick fit but late at night and leave them there in a nice neat pile. That's what I do.

anyway I'm sure there worth money these days as they make rubber mats etc from them and recycle the steel, I saw it on the telly.

As above, a track somewhere could possibly use them, that's what we use for barriers ar some corners at Forrestburn.

Otherwise, I reckon it's quite a tricky one.

Have a look at @ Used Tyre Working Group. Their closest disposal site seems to be about 10 miles from you at Castle Cement Stamford. No idea if they'll take them for free but they'll probably burn them in the kilns

Afraid not, we produce more scrap tyres than can be recycled which is why most tyre companies now charge a disposal fee. It's been illegal to dump tyres in landfill for years IIRC . We use to get rid of a few to our local wildlife park , think the tiger chews them. Another possible way to get rid is check out local riding schools.

I used to work at an engineering company where the boss was to tight to provide proper heating.The workshop heater was a homemade wood burner made from an old water tank about 4 foot by 6 foot with fire door and flue added to it.
When it got really cold in the winter we used to burn old tyres in it instead of the usual sawdust and oil.It used to give a good heat output but unfortunately the people in the old folks home opposite didnt agree and complained to the council.

Theres a place in wrexham that apprently takes them off your hands for free, according to our local tip-man.
- However thats a half hour drive and i usally only have two and our local garage will take them away for £5 a pop.
