Where to throw used tyres?

[South307]

Hi guys I`m a newbee and really can`t find where should I throw out my used motorcycle tyres. Is it ok to put it in a common bin or there are some special services for utilization?

$10 a tyre at the dump in Christchurch last time I dropped one off.

Last lot of tyres I threw over the fence into my shit-arse-drug-youth-neighbors yard as I left my property for the last time. That dumb fuck would not know what shit he had there. I do notice on a pass by over a year later he has cleaned up a bit. Unlikely he paid for them to be dumped - most likely burnt them in a drum at one of his parties.

Naughty but I put them in my wheelie bin. One at a time of course, but 15 tyres in the last two years.

Oh and oil too, as there is nowhere to recycle it here.

in the garden, they got it out of the ground, in ten thousand years some cunt will thank you for this when they are able to 'mine' it a litre at a time

We used to grow potatoes in tyre stacks.

Then someone pointed out the likelihood of the tyres leaching out toxic chemicals into the soil.

our local Super Cheap Auto has a bin out front to put 5 litre containers of waste oil in to, real handy now that i not farming.

Used to cover mine up in the Wheelie bin as well too, but they must now have a camera in the bloody truck, cause now I find them laying on the lawn after the collection. Yep have saved a few as well stuck them in the corner of the section, and growing mint and herbs out of them, (not just the smoking herbs Spyda)

Correct, there are cameras in the trucks nowadays.

Recycle your rubber..

Good thing about tyres is they are round and can roll

Ours used to as well but no longer.

I contacted the Council about it, I was informed a local transfer station disposed of it for a small fee. That small fee turned out to be $4.50 per litre. Almost like a root up the arse considering they could have it taken away for free as long as they have a minimum 400 litres to collect.

Council have chosen to ignore my e-mails that questioned that small fee. Left wondering exactly what I get for my near $4k in rates?

Get them wet and take photos on funny angles. Then sell them on tardme for $100.

Its hard to believe Palmerston North Dump does not have areas for batteries and oil recovery etc.
Letters to council should be written.
