Shitloads of old tyres. Any ideas for getting rid of them?

[Number One]

Over the years we have emassed a rather large assortment of used rubber under our house....

We would like to get rid of it however most places won't take tyres and the tips will but at an exhorbitant rate.

I wondered if anyone out there knows of anyone that might be looking for a large stash of old bike tyres of varied sizes....any ideas?

I love the planet but...

They make hell fire starters

Find a friend with a lump of land and a pile of shit that needs burning, liberally apply tyres throughout the fire heap, light and stand down wind until all is well involved.

I'm with mom.

Burn em, to stop freezing to death until the global warming gets here and we can lounge in the sun.

My dad has been using old 180 and 190 section 17in rear tyres for planter boxes. He has a huge Rubarb plant which has used two rears and front!

That's what I was going to suggest too. Make some mini vege/herb gardens.

Wellington Zoo?
Failing that, list them as Hula-Hoops on trademe $1 reserve each?

get hacksaw, number 8 wire, perhaps a few fence battons to prop bits up if needed (probly not though) and make some art (see attached concept). People will pay crazy money for arts

Farmers often use them to hold down the covers on silage so if you know any cockies give them a yell to put the word around.

I've been trying for years to get rid of my own tyre... I aint about to set myself alight or go lie on silage though.

Hey people, burning tyres is the worst way of disposal.
They are one of the big polutors of the planet
That should not be a suggestion ever
The only proper way is to pay to have them dumped.
I know, I know thats a shit load of money because I have a shit load of tyres,
But its the right thing to do regaurdless of the arguments.
You use them up by choice, and to buy them is not cheap.
But neither is getting rid of them
Pay for rubbish, everyone else does.

Potatoes, Stack two or three tyres on their side on a concrete base, fill with soil an d plant 2 or 3 seed potatoes. as they grow, and come to the surface, add anothre tyre and dirt (to keep them covered. Keep stacking until harvest time, remove tyres one at a time exposing spuds as dirt falls away...
