piper28 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi, Does anyone know where i can get rid of used tractor tyres in Central Scotland. Ideally would like to make a little cash from them as they are not fit to put on tractor etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Your local tyre supplier will be able to tell you, you're not allowed to burn or bury them anymore and you have to pay to dispose of them unless you know anyone that will take them off your hands to put on their pit silage sheet later on.

piper28 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks Tim. Thought they might be good to use for kids sand pit or raised flower beds. Trying to advertise them at the moment on another site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Some People come out of the towns into the countryside to fly tip their rubbish onto agricultural land, wouldn't it be nice if you could dump them on a roundabout in a town near to you.

powerrabbit Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I think that would send the wrong message and would make the Countryside folk as bad as the fly tippers, bad idea. What you want to do with them is offer them to an allotment society, people fill them with soil and use them as raised beds. This is what I use for a planter, cut the bead off one side of the tyre, put back on an old steel wheel rim and turned up, my local tyre fitter made up dozens of them and sold them to customers, I only had the one just to see how long it would last, been there for 13 years now.

piper28 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Had a lot of fly tipping problems recently. Dumping stuff in front of field gates, took six calls to council to get it moved. They even burst open a padlocked gate on a site just so they could dump their rubbish Aaaaahhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sign of the times unfortunately, Councils are far too greedy charging people to dispose of their waste and trades loosing work because they have to absorb these costs in the jobs they take on as the customers won't pay the extra on their bill, a local recycling centre near to me is always pretty empty but despite this they have now banned people taking their waste to the centre from the neighbouring town even though both the centre and the town are in the same Council district. Madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
