- This video is how to get rid of a tire.
There are videos about projects and ways to reuse tires. This is not the video for that.
This video is for people who are fed up with an old tire and just want it gone.
It seems like everyone ends up with an old tire one day. Kind of like a stray cat or dog. It’s hard to avoid.
Getting rid of a tire is tricky. No one wants it. I’ve tried paying someone to take them before and was turned down.
Let me teach you a simple way to cut it up and get rid of it.
Might be a great idea to check what is legal in your area. Here in Missouri, this is listed as an acceptable way to dispose of an old tire in regular trash.
dnr.mo.gov/waste-recycling/re...
"Homeowners may dispose of their tires with their household trash as long as they are properly cut first. Either cut the sidewalls out of each tire, creating two sidewalls and the tread ring, or cut each tire through the center of the tread ring (like a bagel) and dispose of the pieces with the household trash. Tires cut in either of these two ways are the only way a permitted sanitary landfill may accept tires for disposal."

In my state you pay a tax for future disposal when you buy a new tire, but when you take the old tire to the sanitation center you get charged again, per tire.
@@barrys.2447 That's why you see people dumping them on vacant land at nighttime.
Where I live you pay the disposal charge and the tire store keeps it and takes care of it. But you can take the tire and not pay the charge. My township will take the tire on normal trash day, but only one per week.
@@barrys.2447 Current through Reg. 50, No. 020; January 30, 2024
Section 62-711.400 - Waste Tire Prohibitions
relevant section: Whole waste tires may not be disposed of in a landfill. Waste tires that have been cut into sufficiently small parts may be disposed of or used as initial cover at a permitted landfill.
(a) For use as initial cover, a sufficiently small part means that 70 percent of the waste tire material is cut into pieces of 4 square inches or less and 100 percent of the waste tire material is 32 square inches or less.
(b) For purposes of disposal, a sufficiently small part means that the tire has been cut into at least eight substantially equal pieces. Any processed tire which is disposed of in a landfill and which does not meet the size requirement of subsection (a) above must receive initial cover, as defined in subsection 62-701.200(53), F.A.C., once every week.
waSHITon?
Ya, i know. waSHITon is turning into CRAPifornia
No YOU get charged again. I cut mine up and they go out with the regular trash. The nuisance about tires that landfills don't like is that they take up so much space. They are mostly air and they won't crush or compress. Cut into pieces they don't take up much space at all.
If you dip the knife in water it cuts much easier ( I worked in a tire retreading plant for a while)
That’s a great idea, I bet that does help a ton
Here I thought it was to wipe off the blood from when the knife slips and cuts your leg.
That too @@ntal5859
Just be careful you don’t cut your knee cap off kids 😎
Always cut towards yourself. bwaaa
You are absolutely right . I've seen many people cut themselves open stripping copper . Just pay the 3 bucks to place that sells tires .
@@ericstrassburger 15 bucks here in Australia!
I am 77 years old and and remember my grandfather in the 1950s making, "HUARACHES" (Sandals) out of old tires.
Nowadays it will be steel-belted sandals!
I’m sixty, and I know if the sandals!
I wish I could watch a video about that!!
I saw a video, a while back, of a young man in Africa that was doing the same thing. He started it, with just himself, by picking up discarded tires, making the sandals and selling them, cheaply, to folks who couldn't afford shoes. Now, I think he employs about 50 people and folks bring tires to him. He isn't a millionaire, but he is able to put food on peoples tables and provide a needed product.
Sadly, the proliferation of steel-belted radials put an end to that. But there are still some tires out there you can make sandals and new shoe soles from, if you can find them. Racing slicks, for example.
I grew up on the bay, and we always cut tires open into long strips and nailed it on the edge of docks, floats, and barges, nearly eliminating impact damage. Nothing is as good for that today. Certainly nothing that cheap and easily acquired.
@@RobMacKendrick I have been watching a few videos where the steel reinforced tyres are pretty much skinned with a knife to remove a flat, treaded rectangle of rubber. It's too thin for a sandal on its own but it can be glued on, to re-tread a worn shoe. Edit (sp.)
A much better homestead use for used tires is as DIY geogrid. If you have a dirt or gravel road or driveway that turns to bottomless mud or washes out lay your empty tires there, lash them together with something like stainless bailing wire and fill them with stone.
Genius! Thank you!
In grade school my brother and I used an old tire to make a swing. A very common thing to see, but we used coax cable doubled up. He got the brilliant idea to hold on underneath with both arms and legs wrapped around the tire. After pushing him as high as I could he swung down and when it reached the middle point it broke knocking the wind out of him. He stood up says "Elp Me! Elp Me!" because he could only inhale. Hilarious! I still do the impersonation perfectly. lol
Now that's funny! Remember the day in elementary school had brilliant idea to swing from monkey bars double handed and missed, landed on back, knocked out wind, nobody around, finally got up and now am 71. Did not do that again. Thanks from Texas
😂😂
I got rid of all my tires this way but now only have 8 fingers
How did you cut off your thumbs?
I did the same thing and now they call me, "Lefty!"
I am amazed at our shop how many customers want replacement tires just for the fun of it for tires not even half worn.
If you are pulling a flatbed, now you have edge protectors to use with your chains and you will not damage what it is that you are chaining down. There is a lot of good uses for old tires if you are willing to spend the time to do what this man has just done in the video.
Niiice. Would you please name a few good uses for old tires for a typical suburban homeowner?
Looks like the tread ring you have left would make a perfect garden container. Great depth for beets, turnips, maybe some short carrots. Plant beans or peas and put some long poles in it for a trellis.
Same thought... Be careful to leave a little of the rubber sidewall for protection from the ends of the steel cords. On one side you can use as the top. Then I'm going to find out if i can turn the tread side in. Happy harvest .
Why would you want to grow food in a a tire?
@@MarkTrades__ First...
(Imagine an open hand striking my forhead)
Well since I've stopped drinking water from plastic bottles. Due to the minuite particles that leach into the water.
I'd have to blame my post on a childhood memory of a favorite next-door neighbor.
Who would share all her wonderful vegetables, green peppers, pea's...ect. Grown from her raised bed garden of tires.
I have made it to 69 years now. Hoping for at least an even 70...
And I made the post @ 2:00 AM.
Tired and so sore I couldn't sleep from unloading two yards of fire wood.
Edit: It may make a pretty planter for some flowers or maybe even a Rubber Tree! .
If your able to turn the tread side in.
They use aprox five gallons of oil to make a car tire. No more late night posts
Thanks, How's that?
@@snapcutter9596 hey you don't owe me anything but I was thinking I don't know if I would want food grown in a tire! Haha 😁. Idk a lot of people are in these comments saying tires are pretty inert. But I don't like the idea of it. Same with growing in 5 gallon buckets from the hardware store that are not able to be sold for direct food contact but people like to grow tomatoes in it...
But yeah seems like there are a lot of uses for tire scraps - for planters, making retaining walls & erosion control, putting rubber bumpers on hazardous hard-spot etc.
To each is own, alot of people are.growing food in plastic grow sacks and zinc plated metal tubs these days while saying their goal is food purity & safety. I think it's mostly a lack of knowledge of how these items are manufactured though.
The Bob Ross of tires.
There's a very impressive Africa lady that started to recycle tires in her town.
She started small and cut them into pieces, then somehow ground them down.
She finally figured out a way to remove the steel radial belts inside, and she did
not use, nor could she afford hi tech equipment. She somehow has these workers
grind them up to almost a powder form, them moulds them into all kinds of
products, giving work to about 40 - 50 workers, which is great. They make stuff
like patio stones, door mats, and many other products. I was very impressed. Why
can they not make roads out of rubber ? In cold climates they wouldn't crack up,
from expansion and contraction with the seasons. Also right now we're using them
to make football fields so falls would not cause as many injuries. There is a lot of
great things that could be done with rubber, and a lot of people would buy the products.
Here in Hawaii you are not allowed to throw tires in the trash. However, it is not because the tire material is a gross polutant, quite the opposite. Tires are fairly inert. The problem is, when dumped in a landfill they won't stay buried, always end up popping up to the surface. The reason is that the decaying rubish produces a lot of gas. Some of the gas gets trapped in the tire and eventually lifts it to the surface. We are allowed to dump tires if we cut them up first.
If the tire is cut up it can’t trap gases
Exactly!
Now that's interesting !!!
Yup
@@broderickwallis25 And very true!
When I was a child in So California we had sandals made in Mexico from old tires.
likely not steel belted tires though.
When I was a kid from Mexico we had sandals made from gringos who upset out drug lords.
@@ntal5859😂
@@barrys.2447 Yes, yes you do. Dynamic and Roadforce variation. Don't forget to rotate them as well every 100k steps for even wear.
Ha! I forgot about those.
Being too cheap to pay $3 to dispose of a tire at the county recycling center. I cut up one tire. The tire was full of metal cords, difficult to cut. I went through more than the $3 in blades to save $3. After that I sweet talked Discount Tires into taking 12 tires that I had collected for free when I purchased a set of new tires for my truck. Now I just pay the $3 and take them to the recycling center along with my waste oil.
You realise they get paid for the old tyres to turn into retreads?
They charge $35 per tire to take them where I live. The countryside has loads of them thrown out by the side of the road.
10 where I am. Won't take if on rim.
We drop them off at Goodwill.
@@janeblogs324They don't make retread car/truck tires in the US, only Semi tires and heavy equipment
I don't know why this came up in my CZcams feed but the video was really cool and informative. I hope that more people see the video.
The Bob Ross of tire world....
I’m “Tire-ed” just watch in’ you! LOL - Great idea
if you're into it, the tire can be cut to hang metal targets. The steel belted portion will last forever.
I’m giving this a try. Thanks
I'll definitely have to keep that in mind if I have to build hangers again for the gong at the gun club I belong to maybe if the chains keep breaking I can use pieces of an old tire
who wouldn't be into it? That's the question. Only the dangerous would oppose!
We had a large number of tires around our pistol club acting as dividers between lanes or as a base for mounds of soil to act as barriers.
All had to be totally covered with deep dirt or taken away before the range certification guy would re-certify our ranges. Apparently too higher a risk of ricochet.
My county waste transfer station says I can dump 3 tires per visit. It all goes to a huge plastic/rubber-lined dump site, where it will be capped to keep it contained for X number of centuries. By then, the garbage will probably have become a resource, and will be dug out and used for fuel or refined into component materials, to be reused.
Somebody needs to inform your county most cars have 4 tires.
@@stoneyswolfThats why they limit it like that - so that people doing tire jobs aren't trying to use that facility as their disposal location & take that industrial volume of tires elsewhere & the local facility is kept for the local private citizens rather than businesses. A private citizen can easily make 2 trips for more than 3 tires. A business wouldn't have the time to do that & would start to stick out to facility staff. You get these little private garages trying to use these places as their disposal solution otherwise (whether or not they should be able to is a whole different convo).
If you fold up the tread part, and cut the side walls into smaller pieces, they will fit into other things like cans or boxes that you can put into the regular garbage bags too.
I wouldn't want to process more than 3 or 4 tires, but here in what now passes for England, local councils are making the disposal of any type of rubbish increasingly difficult by closing down municipal tips and then putting up multiple hoops for people to jump through before they can dump their rubbish at recycling plants that are still operating. Consequently, fly-tipping has increased exponentially.
P.S. Only very recently my local council here in Cambridgeshire announced they will no longer be taking green bins (organic matter) for recycling, yet at the same time, they are increasing council tax. It comes as no surprise that more and more people are refusing to pay council tax, including me! They can FO.
More council tax to pay For bad investments and projects.
@@campervan-john Indeed...in 2008, more than 50 local councils lost around £190m when they invested taxpayers' money, without consent, in the Icelandic bank, Glitnir, when it went bust. However, in January 2016, the Landsbanki estate (Icelandic National Bank) repaid some 750m to HM Treasury.
They do stupid stuff like that and then are astonished by scofflaws dumping trash by the roadside.
@@pat8988 ...but see their community destroying attitude corrected the very second their neighbourhood is blighted by fly-tippers.
You will be prosecuted and rightly so.
Old guy back in the 90s show me this. He use to do mechanical repairs from his house. Cheers Graham
4:17 On the farm when I was kid, once the tire got to THIS point, we cut the tread once so it
is one long piece of rubber, then stack it up to use later.
GREAT for ramps where cows walk!, rubber bumpers on the corner of everything, equipment loading ramps, push bumpers on anything with wheels! so handy!
The round ones are super useful over posts at gates! ... you can stack 40 of them on a post, makes it almost immune from being bumped into, THE thing as shown here? is to CUT them up as they are made available,
THEN you'll find unlimited use for them! :) Hell my Dad used to SELL them!
You da man! I have some very recent lawnmower tires that I need to get rid of. They cut, like you said, just like a zipper. Very few worries about them becoming a mosquito breeding habitat. I tossed them into the trash and it should be picked up tomorrow.
I know people that cut up old tires and burn them s little at a time in a furnace in their non attached garages. The call it Flat coal
That's a good way to dispose of them. If the pieces are small and the wood flame is hot, it will cause no smoke and very little smell. Lots of BTUs in tires too, just as the name "flat coal" implies.
"Flat coal" LMFAO, perfect name for it.
Great video! Thanks…now my garage pick up team will wonder why my trash bags are so damn heavy all of a sudden 😂😂😂.
I've always wondered about how to build a small tracked vehicle, like a tank. I knew a likely source for the tread would be the tread of a tire, but how to easily cut off the sidewalls....?
Now I know a pretty good technique!
Great idea. My hands are going to be aching and my knives very blunt soon.👌👍
An island state takes care of 2 problems at the same time. They use the tires and all trash for fuel to make electricity. That way they get rid of the tires and get power!
Some folks use tires to help get rid of brush piles.
A lot of electric power plants did the same but the air scrubbers became to costly for the project .
@@vicpetrishak7705Also the energy to shred them so that the existing coal/coke conveyors would handle them, and they could meter the feed used almost as much energy as the fuel provided, so it was really just a way to get rid of them. Cement plants on the other hand burned them whole, and got paid as much as $1 each to accept them. I built such a system for Lafarge in the 2000s
Thanks Eric
Thank you for the great information how to get rid of tires. Now I know what to do. Great video !
So simple, but I never thought of it. Thanks!
Useful video, thank you 👍
Pure genius. Thank you!
Thank You For This...I Work In the Property Preservation Industry & I Encounter Tires I Have to Remove All the Time...& This Will Help Me Tremendously.
Good Idea! Where I live, if you're caught dropping an old tire in a Dumpster it is a $2,500 fine from the County!
Very good video and so simple.
I cut the tires into quarters using my portable band saw put the pieces into dog food bags with other trash and put all of it in the trash can and have never had a problem. televisions are easy as well take it apart break everything but the picture tube bag it and toss it. the picture tube is easy I wrap them in an old tarp and put them in the can as well. I have never had any problem doing this.
What do you do for couches?
@@byroncard some disassembly required...
@@byroncarda few hours of labor, heavy duty contractor waste bags, utility knife and other basic tools. If the couch has metal parts contact a scrapper for pickup(they are everywhere). I did have to lug the metal parts outside when I took apart my 350 pound couch. The glued together pressboard pieces required smashing onto concrete and the padding fit into two or three waste bags. It's a chore however doing this saved me a $100 charge for disposal fee plus not to mention having to hire 2 dudes to carry down two sets of stairs. If u have a sawzall life is easier as well. This method works for mattresses as well as chairs, toilets,etc.
Here in the UK it has been known for people to place them over a speed camera fill the inner of the tyre with petrol and set on fire from a safe distance of course not only does it solve the recycling of the tyre it also destroys the speed camera, which can then be scrapped and recycled thus providing a useful income for the local council 🤔
😂😂😂
In Africa they do something similar, the difference is they don’t do it to speed cameras, but they do it to people they don’t like
@@cplcabs yeah I was aware of that 😗
You can make a gasification tank and get usable fuel from the tires, the only thing remaining is some thin metal pieces, which you can sell for scrap metal.
I read about this several years ago , anhydrous pyrolysis . Several litres of diesel like fuel per tire .
you sir sound like you are homesteading in 3024
Thank you
I typically save up my old oil from my oil changes and poor it into an old tire and light in on fire then push any old brush, trees, roots balls are anything else I want burned. The oil in the tire burns for 3-4 day but it’s a hot fire. It can be a little Smokey but it works.
Good tidbit. Frugal folks can use the treads for DIY sandals. Plenty of CZcams videos on it.
Thank you!
Use a sawzall if you have one!
Not all sidewalls cut that easy.
Thanks,
COOP
...
Heck yes didn't know it was so easy 👍
That's a cheap tire - try that with a truck tire.
Really cool!
Thanks. God bless.
I do that to old vehicle and lawn mower tires. I have a portable handsaw so I cut the tread into large chunks and then put in a bag or box to keep from causing an identity issue. My mechanic charges a buck or 2 for disposal also as an other option
They can be concrete forms for fence posts anchors that you don't have to remove. Tires wired together and filled with sand make great self-sealing sandbags for shooting ranges. Used tires have lots of uses around a farm or homestead I'm baffled as to why you would throw them away.
Brilliant comment👍🏻💯
Thanks
Thanks, Eric. I used to use a utility knife like that, and it worked better for me if I pushed the knife instead of pulling it.
But I don't anymore. If you have a Sawzall, you'll save a TON of time and energy. Just grind a small Sawzall blade to a knife edge. Cuts a tire sidewall off in about 20 seconds with little effort.
We fill some of the tread sections with soil and plant in them. They last a long time in the garden.
Thanks again!
i found a local tire shop, where i can dump off a few at a time, they dont want you to overload them, but they can recycyle them over time rather than see them in the garbage
Start at 1:50
If you wet the tyre, the blade will cut easier.
Outstanding
Thats a great idea. Most people are complaining about the landfill, but plastic outlasts rubber, my trash goes directly to the incinerator.
I burn mine in my backyard on Earth day.
I put mine in the ditch the night before green up day! Lol
JK! Greenies!!
You guys are cracking me up! LOL
Excellent that way you can turn off your lights and enjoy the fire... On Earth day I turn on all my lights and aircon to max, I do it so the power plant keeps the base load going. Wouldn't want people finding out the power station wasn't able to provide enough power from when the hippies get home and start cooking a hot meal from being frozen to death.
Sounds like a job for a Sawzall ?
Too....if you have One way treads, you could make sandals out of them, buy pointing the tread on one sandal one direction, and just the opposite for the other direction !
That way, no one can tell if you're coming or going !
Lol....!
👍😉
So why not just take it to a designated tire recycling location?
BECAUSE IT IS A VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO CUT DOWN & DISPOSE OF A USED TIRE. NOT A VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO TAKE ONE TO A LOCAL FACILITY.
Keep a tire or two around as they are excellent to use on roof shingles if a wind storm comes through and lifts some shingles.
They also work excellently to help stabilize ground slopes, walkways, etc.
That's a great idea. I wonder if the sun would dry them out starting them
to crack, and then leak water ?
@@grantp4022 Dig where you want them, place them, fill them with gravel. They'll last for decades as most will be below the surface. Just search the internet.
I know where we live, several miles away there is a large tire dump and tires have been in the desert sun for decades. They do crack and leak water, but they'll be good enough for long enough for steel belted tires.
Great for raising a good batch of mosquitoes 🦟
Easier to get a few buddies, couple of tires some brush and burn um, oh ya and a couple 24 packs of beer, 😂
Here in the UK you pay 50p per tyre to have it disposed of when you buy new tyres. The old tyres most definitely do not go into landfill. An emerging policy is zero waste to landfill; we just don't have any more suitable sites. Stuff that cannot be recycled will be incinerated properly.
I had to clear out a house in a big city and different state, it seemed like they farmed out "the dump" and I couldn't get a straight answer out of any of them. I borrowed another set of three cans and every other day either the plastic, garbage, or plant truck would show up. One plastic day the truck stopped monetarily and drove away. Never could figure that, maybe the karens with binoculars, I found out later they only want certain types of plastic, I was putting in stuff like cassette tape boxes. Or, maybe they have cameras and record the previous discharge. I had to switch two huge cans over to the garbage cans and a wasted day. It is trippy going back to huge metroplexes after a decade + in the North-woods. The regulations are getting bad. Just the other day I played tires and the owner where my friend works was saying he's having trouble getting rid of them. And logging trucks have so many rules that they won't bring firewood and they drive by all the time empty, I had to build a trailer, even the saw mill owners can't get the loggers, that work for them, to deliver.
Spring cleanup location are posted around April so that’s what I do,free dumping
When tires are purchased a disposal fee is applied .
There's gonna be an entire cottage industry of tire unzippers.
Like grand dad always said, if you need to burn a tire you burn it at night.
Sure beats the 5$ surcharge at the tire place!
I paid $2 per ture at Costco in WA this week. 8 bucks is less than 1.5% of the tites cost, including mounting and balancing.
@@logmeindangit to each their own, but I'd rather buy lunch with that same money than spend that on something that is going to take the tires essentially to the same place.
@@Youknewthatalready how would one dispose of them for free? (Assuming not just tossed into a ditch somewhere) i never had to lift a finger, either. No cutting up, flattening, tying, stuffing in a bin, then going in the house and cleaning up. Nothing. No knife needed, no saw needed, no soap needed, no water needed, no towel used or laundered. When looking at the convenience of not having to do all that, I am OK with it.
No it does not. Tyres have to be disposed of properly and you are too cheapskate to cough up $5 to have the job done properly. Pathetic.
NEVER PULL KNIFE TOWARDS YOURSELF
2:55 Will it still hold air at this point?
Just put it out for the trash. No problem. Cheers!
I was kind of lazy and put an old scooter tire in the new tire box recently and the private trash company just picked it up. So next day I changed the rear and come Friday they did the same again. I thought I was going to have to go to a tire store. Lucky me.
Put it in the garden, fill it with earth, and put plants into it. My rhubarb has been doint great and some time in the next 100 years the tire will likely disintegrate!
For ornamentals only. Tires contain toxic metals that leach.
power tools work faster
like my angle grinder 😂
I take them to the junkyard they charge me $3.50 per tire,they allows 10 tires per day.
My tire change place only charges me $2 for a tire. They fix and re-sell any tire that has half way decent tread. They sell the fixed, used, ones for $25. A nice little side stream of income for the tire shop.
our town has tox-away days a few times a year -- they will take uo to 4 tires no charge
Ended up with about 50 tires left in the gravel pit on our property. Boy, did they burn 😂
I would rather recycle the tires the easy way taking them in to a tire place for recycling than risk cutting myself to throw the tire away!! When it comes to safety, its not worth it!!
Need to mention,be careful with that knife 🥺
I'm actually using an old tire and probably going to make some chainsaw cap guards for my oants and coving for my feet. Also to guard me from my circular saw weed eater set up.
Also thought about making some "tire armor" to see if I can sell it.
Sawzall buddy, sawzall.
tires make great retaining walls🙂
If I were your neighbor, it would be back in your yard at 6:00 a.m.😂
People use to call my grandad ole cotton balls. Yup, the good old days
I have done the same with tires and saved a trip to the dump and the associated fees. I have also done the same with the old carpet in my dining room / den when I replaced it. With my razor knife I cut it into 2 foot wide strips about ten feet long and rolled them up with tape, put them in garbage bags and put them in my barrel to be picked up. The trash guys took it over the course of several weeks and I saved about fifty bucks at the dump for carpet disposal. We have a recycling center for paper cardboard bottles, cans and there is a separate dumpster for "scrap metal" that has a sign that says"No Appliances".
When I replaced my electric oven I was able to take it all apart tossing the small parts into our regular trash can... the few panels that were left were no longer an appliance...they were scrap metal that I bent up and folded and they went right in the scrap metal dumpster.
Again the local dump charges at least 60 bucks to take a big appliance like a stove.
Then I replaced my gas furnace. Took it all apart, small parts for the trash barrel and the panels went to the scrap metal dumpster. All above board and legal. If I were really rich maybe I would literally have the money to throw away, but I don't so I just make these things smaller and get rid of them for free.
You know scrap yards will take metal for free, instead of putting a valuable resource in a landfill!!!🤦
@@jcanfixall1585 That is exactly where the scrap metal dumpster goes to, a scrap yard.
@@williardbillmore5713 most of a stove and furnace is recyclable, why hide most of it in your trash can when you can drop the entire thing off!!!
You can just take them to a tire shop. Never heard of one that wouldn’t let you pay to drop off used tires.
Yep, sometimes they charge me a few dollars, sometimes it’s free. I guess it depends on how busy they are.
There's a 'reclaim' fee included in the purchase price of EVERY tyre.
You shouldn't have to pay anymore.
You can take tyres directly to the 'reclaimer'.
Still illegal in most areas to put in the trash as you just made it smaller you didn't change the waste. Tire shops will take your used tires but yes you have to pay a fee to do so.
Great idea to check your local laws! Here in Missouri this is one option the DNR allows for the disposal of tires. Not many people are aware it’s so easy.
dnr.mo.gov/waste-recycling/reduce-reuse-recycle/what-to-do-with-specific/scrap-tires#:~:text=Some%20options%20for%20properly%20disposing,they%20are%20properly%20cut%20first.
“Homeowners may dispose of their tires with their household trash as long as they are properly cut first. Either cut the sidewalls out of each tire, creating two sidewalls and the tread ring, or cut each tire through the center of the tread ring (like a bagel) and dispose of the pieces with the household trash. Tires cut in either of these two ways are the only way a permitted sanitary landfill may accept tires for disposal.”
Florida Current through Reg. 50, No. 020; January 30, 2024

in India they use the sidewall and make flip flops out of them
I once stacked several and filled them with dirt to make a retaining wall.
Unless it’s a truck tire - then the sidewall area is full of wire - no razor knife will tackle that
I cut a runflat like that off my Corvette a few years ago. That Rinky dink cutter you got wouldn't go thru the thick sidewall rubber. I used a power saber saw, went thru several blades and burned up the saber saw. Should have just paid the $8 disposal fee.
Our local dump takes up to 8 for free.

I live on a rural road tires are a problem, back in the day they didnt have trash pickup, i can remember taking a load of tin cans to a hole granpa dug in the woods about a half mile up the road back in past the field of corn.
That is fly tipping. It is an expensive annoyance for the landowners having to clean it up or the local council having to clear stuff dumped by the side of a road. There are severe penalties if you are caught.
I only buy 8 or 10 ply good luck with the knife trick .
doesnt the 10 ply run same way as the cut?

I put a 200lb chunk of concrete for bulk pickup that was here when I got my house, they wouldn't pick it up with the claw truck. I tried to break it apart and nearly broke a window on my car when a chunk flew off, I could only get superficial pieces off and this was with a 20lb sledge. Eventually I laid my trash can on it's side and rolled it in. They never said nothin to me about it.
That’s hilarious
All you needed to do was make cuts using an angle grinder and then wedge them using a bolster or a log splitter. Simple.
When you garbage guy has a claw-truck, if it fits it ships - ain't it? LOLOL
