AndyFowler Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hello , can anyone recommend a way of legally and economically disposing of worn out tyres from my Scammell Explorer in the southeast of London please ? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi Andy, I found that if you scrap a vehicle and leave the tyres on it they only charge about a fiver a time for truck ones. May not be applicable to you though! Otherwise most tyre dealers will get rid of them for a fee, especially if you're having the replacements fitted at the same time. - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks for the reply Mike ! I don't really want to scrap Daisy to get rid of her old tyres :-D:-D ! I am fitting the tyres myself so I guess the tyre people wont be to keen to take them but I'll give a few local firms a try ! Just thought as you see so many flytipped that it would be expensive to dispose of legally ! Thanks again Andy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hello , can anyone recommend a way of legally and economically disposing of worn out tyres from my Scammell Explorer in the southeast of London please ? :-D Andy, one of our waste transfer stations in MK used to accept tyres, so it may be worth trying your local council. Do not under any circumstances try burning them, the smoke and greasy fallout is horrendous.:shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 There is a very good use for old truck tyres. Fill with concrete and half bury on feild boundarys. Sound daft? Maybe but it does stop various itenerates with caravans round here crashing through, setting up camp and ruining the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Seeing as you're on the case, Andy, if it ok with you I'll drop 30 tyres outside your house tomorrow. Cheers mate! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Any tyre place should be able to take them off your hands for about a fiver, though saying that, I tried to get our tyre disposal poeple to take the old Morris tyres and they wouldnt have them, dont know why. Our local tip/recycling place has a place for tyres, try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Our local tip/recycling place has a place for tyres, try that. That is what I suggested Rick, do they still take them at Bradwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Round Lincolnshire its fairly easy. A lot of farmers lay them around man made irrigation reservoirs, on the "Shore" line to stop the waves eroding the dirt banks. They will "usually" take them for free. (especially if you can locate a newly dug lagoon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
