Got a few tyres that are scrap and don't know the best way of disposing them? Local tip is £5 per tyre... anyone know if people take these for free? For landscaping or something?
 
I've got a few stacked in the yard too Kis, next time I go for a tyre change I'll ask them to take them too
 
It's getting ridiculous really. I've got a few quotes for just tyre removal and they're coming in at £10... minimum! Others have quoted more. WTF?!

I think I'll put them on gumtree... free to collect, blah blah. Otherwise maybe a mmm-five drive-by is on the cards :fuelfire:

I’ve seen some people drape them over speed cameras & fill them with petrol :)

Really? Do you still keep in touch with said people? I've got a few tyres they can keep in stock for their midnight antics! :rofl:
 
Got a go kart circuit near you? They might be interested in taking them off your hands.

I’d also try ringing a few farmers, in my experience they’ll use anything for something. I think they often use tyres to put around horses food buckets to stop them knocking them over :lol:
 
Silage heaps on farms are often covered with polythene sheeting weighed down with hundreds of old tyres. Definitely worth seeing of a local farmer wants them.
 
Cut them into pieces with an angle grinder and thin cutting disc, then put them in your wheelie bin. Job jobbed.
