Yes what a guy. Willing to do the work if he could just get some dumpsters trash bags anything. GOD bless him. I hear people like that loud and clear what a treasure he is in this world.
+CHeath You are EXACTLY right my friend. I believe a respectable Tire Shop would be proud to show that they are doing the RIGHT thing with their old tires, and would be happy to prove it too.
they are required to so just that. the thing is the tires generally just end up moving from one illegal "recycler" to another. each one trying to pass the buck because they don't want to do the work until the cycle gets to something like this. and then it generally continues. you hear the relief stories where the Giant mess finally got cleaned up, but to where. they need to follow the story to make sure the people picking them up actually recycled them and didn't just dump them 10 blocks down the road.
Not necessary. Old tires can be recycled. They make speed humps, parking blocks etc. Pay people $1.00 per tire to turn into a tire recycling center. Detroit should have a couple tire recycling centers built. If people turn in old tires they would get $1.00 & $5.00 for really big tires. Old other things like couches & mattresses should get $10.00 each. Basically people with trucks can make extra money turning in trash.
The problem is old tires usually cost more to recycle than the resulting material is worth at the end. As such, most old tires end up being buried in designated locations.

Never been charged to dispose my tires and I went to a lot throughout the years. They just charge me the repair or for a new tire, but not to dispose it.

yeah, the transport to the next abandoned neighborhood. if there is one on your way home you can save 40 bucks and dispose them yourself in a random backyard lol

Good on the community for coming together and cleaning up that mess. Some of those that work for the city need to be fucking FIRED, you can't tell me they didn't know about this.
I have seen a process of road building using old tires right here on YT. Looks like the only tires seen on the cars around there are space saver spares.
Until they get those abandoned homes knocked down, and hi res security cameras set up, it will keep happening. Need to fix the root cause, not the symptoms.
Defiantly a neighbor who lives next door, that works at a tire place and just drives home from work each day and drops off tires for some free gas money
That’s truly a fire hazard I speak for experience In my hometown mafia burned down a local tire business burned for days I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that those houses belongs to the one individual/realtor/bank etc
I love how some cities use them, shredding them for running tracks at schools/ walkways 🏃♂️ 🚶🏾 instead of cement. I think on how we’ve been here for years, working, and we still need a home, and it’s sad that they’re only filled this way… 🤲 🙏
Imagine the smoke from a fire that would cause. Thats amazing. The problem is nobody calls or records them and goes to the city and have them busted. Don't complain after the fact.
Everyone put your awesome brains to work and let's come up with a bunch of ideas for putting old tires to good use!?! Junk yards can use them for organizing walls in their yards! There's videos that show everyday people doing amazing things with them, so it can be done!!!
They need to audit all tire shops in Detroit. If they sell a tire they need a receipt for a tire disposed of at the dump or wherever used tires are disposed. They should also tax all tire shops to cover the cost of getting rid of these tires.
Those tires added value to those houses. There are LOTS of houses for sale for $2500 in Detroit. Basically priced for the land because most of the houses should be plowed.
Because the crime is too high and these homes would probably cost over $50,000.00 each to just get up to code. It would be cheaper to build a housing project but history has shown those lead to massive spikes in crime. The solution is for the community to rise up and take care of matters themselves.
Hell most of them tires are in better condition then the ones on my truck.
Missed opportunity you could have gone there &checked if any of those tyre's suits you're cars & it's free free freeeee😝😅
Axcactly
Facts 🤣
Lmao 😂😂😂
Just cause a tire looks good doesn't mean it's repairable.
As a tax paying citizen I get so pissed when the city won’t listen to the residents until the news gives them a bad name
i agree but with a city as big and bustling as detroit im sure its tough to reach to the higher ups
@Eviscerate no shit? Who is supposed to hold the business responsible though? Is it the city or?
@@flux_time yes, you answered your own question. If they don’t they could be fined and forced to close if they couldn’t pay.

Should start taking their business license away if they get caught doing this
@@peek5548 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@peek5548 There already is a disposal fee, problem is shops pocket it and dump the tyres anyway.
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u disposal fee goes directly to the state, it then costs a fee to have used tires picked up and hauled away
Against the law you can't do that
Intent alone makes this fraud material. After auditing they need to be fined to pay for proper disposal.

Tire shops charge the customers a tire disposal fee to dispose of the tires.
Dustin Wegner Yes they do and they decide to keep the money instead of using it to dispose of it which is sad.
Technically, what can we do? We get our tires and we are gone.
My state charges a $2 tax on every new tire for disposal fee and tire companies have to pay to dispose of old tires
yea and they all didnt have the petty ass 2$ to have their tires disposed of properly lol
Never been charged to dispose my tires and I went to a lot throughout the years. They just charge me the repair or for a new tire, but not to dispose it.
A large shoutout to all them volunteers that took their time to clean that mess up!
I'm sure it would be cheaper to do a little investigation work and send those tires with a HUGE fine back to the tire shop who dumped them.
That's exactly my thoughts and I bet you you be surprised on who's dumping them is probably the albanians and the Middle Eastern people dumping them cousin Detroit by the ones who own all those Tire businesses

catch the guys first, discredit their business, get the tires cleaned up so it doesnt happen again
And then charge them for the cleanup the tire company
you won't go to jail dude.
That’s great that the community came together to clean up the mess. However, it should’ve never gotten to that point in the first place.
Strange tire shops. In Europe we sell them to be shredded to make rubber antivibration pads for washing machines or lining for cow stables.
Europe doesn't go through even a tenth the amount of tires that America does.
Didn't stop working while being interviewed..... Good man
3:48 i like to think it is just the same tire he got rid of coming back out over and over
Residents are still waiting for the city to pick them up
Dam really it's been 6 years lol
Seriously??
Wtf
It is nice to know that they are a few good people in this world God bless
a shredding company should volunteer one of their machines to cut the tires up and recycle them
Good for this community not to ignore this and getting something done
Unbelievable!!! Hope those tire shops get fined big time and realize it's cheaper to properly dispose of them.
The shops may be paying to have them removed,it might be the disposal contractor that is dumping the tires illegally. Do the homework before pointing fingers.
So... No one actually witnessed whoever dumped hundreds of tires in and around this house? They had to have come over a dozen times.

Yes used tire shops are owned by billionaires obviously. I get all my used $20 tires from Bill Gates himself down in my hood
That’s what we need. Our community coming together to make a change. Not waiting for the government to do it.
It sucks to see just some average man wanting to live a normal life and he's putting his own efforts into picking up those tires
Thats a big shame. Businesses need to stop this!
The city should be paying these people!
With what money? The City is broke.
Sukunai you are right, maybe they can get Eminem to help! 🤣
They should fine that shops so they can get some money. The people over there are volunteers, they won't get paid.
Now yous can renovate the Houses That make a big difference. YES. 🥰💐🙏🤗😁🌏FNZEALAND
Absolutely disgusting! They need to investigate and penalize those local dealerships for using those houses as dumping ground to pocket money.
I would've take one, paint it white, turn it into planter, and make it line the road and plant something nice on it.
