Scrap Tires | Missouri Department of Natural Resources

Missouri citizens generate about six million scrap tires a year, or about one per person per year. Just what is a scrap tire? A scrap tire is a tire that can that can no longer be used as it was originally designed to be used, it has sat out in the elements for over a year, has been cut up in some fashion or someone has placed it somewhere just to be rid of it.

An environment free of scrap tires is important to the public health of all Missouri citizens. Why? Scrap tires can become homes for mosquitoes, snakes and other vermin. Mosquitoes breed in the stagnant water that collects inside tires. Because diseases transmitted by mosquitoes can be a serious health threat, removing and properly managing scrap tires is a priority in Missouri. 

Disposal Options

Do NOT burn them! It is illegal to burn tires in Missouri, except at facilities approved by the department. Uncontrolled tire burning can pollute our air, water and groundwater.

Some options for properly disposing of scrap tires are:

  • Homeowners may dispose of their tires with their household trash as long as they are properly cut first. Either cut the sidewalls out of each tire, creating two sidewalls and the tread ring, or cut each tire through the center of the tread ring (like a bagel) and dispose of the pieces with the household trash. Tires cut in either of these two ways are the only way a permitted sanitary landfill may accept tires for disposal.
  • For small numbers of scrap tires, choose the simple and easy route! Take those few tires to a tire dealer or retail store that sells tires and pay the disposal fee for each tire. These businesses will properly dispose of the used tires they collect.
  • For large numbers of scrap tires, contact a permitted scrap tire hauler to remove and dispose of the tire(s).
  • If you know of any scrap tire dumps and know of any non-governmental, non-profit organizations that might provide volunteers to help with a tire dump cleanup, the group may qualify to receive reimbursement for the disposal costs. For more information about this reimbursement program, visit Scrap Tire Cleanups by Non-Profit Groups.

The Bigger Picture

Surveyors measuring the tire piles at the RIM Tire site.

By 1990, illegal scrap tire piles had become so large and widespread in Missouri that the State Legislature passed Senate Bill 530. This legislation acknowledged scrap tires as a significant waste stream in the state and established a scrap tire fee to fund the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' scrap tire oversight and management activities, scrap tire cleanups by non-profit groups, educational programs/ curriculum about solid waste management and scrap tire surface material grants. The 50-cent scrap tire fee is applied to the retail sale of every new tire.

From 2006 until 2018, the department conducted a scrap tire cleanup program called the Scrap Tire Roundup. The department partnered with the Missouri Department of Corrections to cleanup tire dump sites containing between 500 to 10,000 tires. Due to the economic feasibility of conducting these cleanups, the department shifted its focus from conducting tire cleanups to encouraging and supporting the development of alternative, beneficial uses for scrap tires. The department uses the funds generated by the scrap tire fees to create economic incentives for properly managing scrap tires in Missouri. The department also educates individuals and businesses and strives to maintain a level playing field for all industry members through permitting scrap tire processors, inspecting scrap tire businesses and taking enforcement actions as needed. For general information about managing scrap tires, visit Management of Scrap Tires - PUB2056.

Since authorization and funding began in 1990 -

  • A running track in which recycled scrap tires were used as the surface material.More than 17.6 million scrap tires from 1,386 scrap tire sites have been cleaned up, including properly disposing of all dumped tires.
    • The department estimates there are a little over 159,000 scrap tires in 132 known sites around the state that still need to be removed
    • The department estimates there may be an additional 500,000 tires remaining in dump sites statewide that have not been discovered
  • Approximately 2,000 scrap tire haulers have been permitted, with 60-70 haulers receiving new permits or renewing their existing permits each year.
  • Inspections are conducted each year at a number of the estimated 6,000-7,000 scrap tire collection centers located in the state
  • Approximately 30 scrap tire processors have been permitted for operation to process whole scrap tires into shredded tires, tire chips or crumb rubber as feedstock material for other uses.
  • By the end of 2021, the department estimates that over 40,000 tons of scrap tires will have been diverted from the waste stream and manufactured into a variety of playground surface materials, rubber mats, benches, tables, and other alternative uses for scrap tire materials.

Where to sell old tires for money?

Some shops, car services, tire shops accept old tires for money or for a discount

Used tires are accepted by recycling industries for grinding. From the obtained raw materials, products are made, intended for for construction and economy. In addition, new tires are made from them.

The disposal of used tires can be carried out for money, free or with an admission fee. Interested in the first option, with two other problems do not occur. It is not worth counting on large sums, price range - from 50 to 150 rubles. per tire, depending on its diameter (from 15 up to 22.5, respectively). nine0003

Prices vary by type of tires, as well as their quantity. For example, for 1 ton of non-studded rubber they pay 4 tr. If it is studded, the cost rises to 6 tr. Cameras are bought for 30 rubles. Accordingly, for a set of worn studded tires, along with cameras, you can get 720 rubles. The amount is small, especially if you need services for transporting tires to the place of reception.

Most profitable to change tires to get:

  1. Discount for the purchase of new tires; nine0018
  2. Reduced the cost of maintenance, tire fitting;
  3. Service car out of order.

Preliminary it is necessary to specify in autoshops and technical services the availability of such promotions. Given that they have offers in accepting used tires come in constantly, they can suspend promotions for indefinite period. Then there is another option, where to hand over the old tires for money.

non-standard approach

Tires can be used in landscaping, but environmentalists do not recommend doing so. nine0002 As noted earlier, tires are a good building material. His can be used for the following purposes:

  1. For creating fences instead of curbs;
  2. B as home-made and original benches near the house;
  3. How swings and material for creating rubber sculptures.

Finally, vegetables are grown with their help in agriculture. It is enough to bury the tire in the ground, place seedlings in it. Thus, moisture is retained longer, yields increase. In addition, drinkers for domestic animals are made from tires. nine0003

All used as follows:

  1. Looking for craftsmen who can sell used tires for money or for free;
  2. Being created a company specializing in yard decoration services, inexpensive devices to increase productivity, etc.

The second option will require ingenuity, organizational skills, and the ability to negotiate. But if during the search it was not possible to find enterprises where you can hand over tires for recycling for money, but on the contrary, they still require payment for services, then there is a reason to think about your own business. nine0003

Collection points for old tires

For users of the Vyvoz.org website, we have compiled (and constantly updated) a list of organizations in large (and not only) Russian cities where you can return old tires for money or free of charge:

Moscow
St. Petersburg
Astrakhan
Barnaul
Vladivostok
Volgograd
Voronezh
Yekaterinburg
Izhevsk
Irkutsk

Kazan
Kaliningrad
Kemerovo
0002 Such an enterprise will require small investments - from 50 to 80 tr. Most of the money will be spent on renting premises, registering an organization, paying one or two employees, as well as advertising. A prerequisite is that the owner independently (at least for the first time) creates devices for agriculture and decor for yards. A license to collect and store recyclables is required.

Then a commercial offer is created, pages are drawn up in the most popular social networks. Targeting advertising in them is not expensive, it allows you to quickly reach the target audience. Additionally, announcements are posted in rural areas, at dacha cooperatives, commercial offers are sent to management companies. nine0003

The production process consists of the following steps:

  1. Reception rubber - initially you can charge for free or take money for recycling;
  2. Reception orders for the creation of decoration of yards, personal plots;
  3. Fulfillment orders.

If the demand for rubber increases, you can offer to the population to hand over rubber for processing for money. In parallel is an agreement with a processing plant, where you can deliver in bulk unclaimed rubber. Such a business can bring from 50-70 to 300-500 tr. monthly. Depends on organizational owner's abilities. nine0003

Tire disposal for legal entities persons

While individuals do not have to report on the correct disposal of rubber, this is not the case with organizations.

By law, legal entities are required to report on the delivery of used tires for recycling. The lack of documentary evidence leads to a fine for violating the rules for handling recyclables.

Therefore, business entities are required to apply to official processing manufacturer or its representative. At transfer of tires is issued:

  1. Agreement about recycling;
  2. Act transfer-reception of rubber;
  3. Act about its processing.

In addition, the enterprise is working out an act in accordance with which tires are recognized as used. The commission decides on writing them off from the balance sheet of the enterprise and sending them for recycling.

Unlike businesses, individuals are not required to follow this procedure. But it is recommended to approach the disposal of tires in a responsible manner. Rubber decomposes for a long time, but being in the environment in the event of combustion is a source of dioxins that enter the air and then into the human body. Because of this, he can become seriously and even terminally ill. nine0003

What is a car tire and what does it consist of

Recycling car tires is a process on which the ecological future of our planet depends to a large extent. Until relatively recently, most drivers did not really bother with this topic. Worn rubber was usually either simply thrown into a landfill, or used to make flower bed elements, seats, barriers and other practical things. So she lived out her life, slowly decomposing and releasing various toxic substances into the atmosphere. Today, the situation in this regard is gradually changing for the better: more and more people are realizing that tire recycling requires an exceptionally professional approach and appropriate equipment. nine0003

If you are a resident of Nizhny Novgorod, then you have several options for recycling tires. Motorists who decide to get rid of an old set of tires can always contact one of the service stations involved in this or a special collection point. If the rubber is in relatively good condition, you can even get something for it. Such organizations as the Nizhny Novgorod Rubber Recycling Plant or PKF Ecological Tire Recycling are actively involved in buying up and recycling on a large scale, and there are also many private entrepreneurs. nine0003

Car tire recycling methods

There are several ways to recycle truck tires.
