With whom, the tire is laid out for a long time - here the situation itself is the same, like with plastic. Need a century, the first low water is not deprived of anything, and another hundred years, the first low ground and water is renewed.
Spalling is not an option, even if toxic spills are spalled, they are seen even more, and the products of the fire are added to them. In that space, the tires were burnt, through toxic speech for more than 10 years, nothing could germinate.
Tires themselves are not the most ecological product: vicorous resin is prepared and may contain 40 liters of oil.
There are still no alternatives, but only a few products that are necessary for everyday life, it is possible to change as much as possible the yogo shkoda in the middle. One of these ways is re-blowing. With one ton of tires, you can create about 700 kilograms of yakous gum, as if you need it, including clothes, clothes, accessories, and other items.
Two options for getting old car tires:
For example, from the tires they make a gum creak - from it, then, you can create impersonal tribnyh and no less speeches, like you need in some kind of promiscuity. Gum's krichta is also good for laying asphalt - it's worth new, but the technology is promising. In the enterprises that are engaged in the processing of humic compounds, there are a lot of opportunities for their utilization. So, krim pereroblyuvannya on crichta, you can burn tires in special pyrolysis ovens. The furnaces do not allow access until the end, so the toxic products of the furnace are not consumed into the atmosphere, and the energy of the furnace is sufficient, so that such a humus can be beaten up as a rare fire for such mechanisms. With this mechanical refinement to tire crihti, it will, of course, be an environmentally friendly method of disposal.
Metal cord, from which the carcass of tires is folded, when recycled with rubber magnets, it retracts and can be sent for disposal - from a new one it is possible to create a new one.
Outside the tire, car hum can be rebuilt independently, even for the price of an hour. Having applied a lot of richness - to build near Kiev, Kharkov and other great places, you can still find goydals with tires, replace the seats, decorate the original courtyard and wind outdoor furniture. All that is needed for such creativity is an hour, farba, tools for trimming and fixing gumi, as well as a copy of instructions from the Internet. It is especially handy, as you open the door of your private booth - it’s not necessary to choose bags for the installation of such a decor.
If you don’t have time for such creativity, you can find the point of tire recycling - you can find such a point on the Internet, or you can check with the workshops at the service station, where you can bring tires for recycling. In addition, a lot of tire fitting works with reworking undertakings, and when buying a new gum, they can ask themselves to pick up the old tires for disposal.
Recycling is the easiest and safest way to get rid of an old car gumi.
Resales or simple mechanical utilization of one set of tires will allow less than one square meter of land to be polluted for a hundred years. As soon as you knew about the possibility of re-exploring, hurry up obov'yazkovo її. So buying a new set of tires will become less acceptable.

Most old tires can be accepted: 1. Tire service 2. Service station. 3. Showrooms for sale from great car brands.
Where old tires go and don't spend on a fine: 1. Give the gum to the tire shop. 2. Throw at a special container.

Car tires can be used by the building to the reception points, the stars are sent to the recycling. It is not possible to get rid of the tires at the smіtєvih tanks;
Even if car tires are used very carefully, this will not allow you to avoid tread wear, after which you need to replace the rubber. However, what to do with old tires? If the tread pattern has not yet completely worn off, and you have already completed the replacement of tires, then in this case, the best solution would be to sell used tires.
Old tires can be sold in specialist shops or tire shops. Here, even more or less suitable tires are bought at a low price for the purpose of their further sale. But you can find other sources of sales that do not charge commissions, for example, these can be online stores.
In fact, selling used tires is a shifting problem from one shoulder to another, since tires cannot just be taken and thrown somewhere on the side of the road. Rubber consists of such components that decompose for a very long time, while releasing harmful and toxic substances into the soil and air.
But not only non-utilized rubber threatens with chemical poisoning, but also whole colonies of mosquitoes, and sometimes rats, often settle in discarded tires. Also, tires are very easy to ignite, after which many poisons will be released into the atmosphere.
The Administrative Code and the environmental legislation of Ukraine contain penalties for discarded old tires. To get rid of them without harming the environment, it is necessary to hand over the tires for recycling. It is impossible to dispose of rubber on your own, but for this there are special organizations that use modern technologies. Recycled tires can produce crumb, which is a good raw material for asphalt paving.
Some factories have special equipment with which old rubber is recycled, and its components can be used to make new tires or other products.
Tire recycling in Ukraine is possible at many enterprises, which are most often located in large cities. In most cases, the delivery of old rubber for recycling is a free service. Therefore, instead of just throwing the tire at the edge of the forest, it is better to hand it over to a specialized company for recycling. However, in small towns, unfortunately, it is difficult to find such places for the delivery of old tires. Some businesses accept used tires for a fee. This is typical for those areas where there are no collection points for recycling. Such organizations require you to pay money for each tire that you bring. And if you do not want to mess with tires, then a special service is provided - calling the receiver to the house. But this service comes at a cost. Here you need to be extremely careful, because often these companies do not take or recycle tires anywhere, but simply sell them in a landfill.
If you don't want to throw money down the drain, but don't know how to get rid of old tires in another way, then you can use them on the farm. So, often passenger and truck tires are used as elements of landscape design. For example, they can protect flower beds and lawns. Used tires are used to make special obstacle courses at children's and sports grounds. In some courtyards of high-rise buildings, residents create real sculptures from old tires. But before you adapt rubber somewhere, you need to think about what dangers it can bring in case of improper storage.
The most reasonable solution to prevent decomposition is to paint the tires with oil paint or composite enamel. The main thing is that this coating is not washed off in the rain.
Another way to recycle tires is worth mentioning. However, it is no less dangerous than the previous methods. Familiarize yourself with the announcements of the construction of drain pits in your locality. Companies that do this work often use old tires and rims that they take from drivers to reinforce the walls, since it is much cheaper than buying standard concrete rings.
