Scrap Tire Recycling

​ What We Do with the Tires We Collect

Once our trucks loaded with scrap tires arrive at our processing facility then the tires are unloaded. ​

Unloaded tires are separated into different categories:

Tires without rims and tires small enough to be shredded whole are fed directly into a 3″ primary shredder with a hydraulic excavator.

Tires with rims are placed in a pile to have the rims removed with an excavator-mounted shear. The de-rimmed tires are fed directly into a 3″ primary shredder with a hydraulic excavator. Steel and aluminum rims are recycled as scrap metal.

3″ primary shreds are ground smaller until the wire and rubber are separated into clean and wire-free rubber. The tire wire is then briquetted and sold as scrap steel. The wire-free rubber is screened to make different-sized products.
