Why Tire Recycling Matters for Car Owners

Traditional tire disposal creates significant environmental challenges that directly affect the communities where we live and drive. Tires take up an enormous amount of space in landfills and can trap methane gas, which can then increase fire hazards in the area. Worse yet, improperly disposed of tires become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests, posing public health risks. 

Americans produce approximately 280 million scrap tires each year, with each tire taking at least 50 years to decompose naturally. For the average car owner, this adds up to a significant environmental impact over a vehicle’s lifetime.

Understanding Different Types of Tire Recycling

Tires can be disposed of in a multitude of ways, many of which give them a second life. Each of these methods helps reduce waste and benefits the environment. Understanding these recycling processes can empower car owners to make informed decisions about how to dispose of their used tires responsibly.
