It is not the tires that are bad for the environment, it is the storage and disposal of them that is a problem. The fumes that are created are toxic, and harmful for the environment. Many landfills no longer accept them, since they do not decompose very rapidly and take up space.

What Happens to Used Tires?
Automobile and truck tires are inherently designed to wear out eventually. The petroleum material that the tires are made from can create toxic smoke when burned, and tire fires are very difficult to extinguish, so used tires can’t be burned the way other discarded items can. There are some creative ways that people have found to use the old tires without harming the environment. Used Tire Resale Options There are many reasons that perfectly good used tires are in excellent condition and can be resold. Some used tires are salvaged from cars that were in accidents. Sometimes the tires were only used for a very short time before the car they had been on became inoperable. Used tires are generally sold at a very deep discount compared to new tires, and they can be the perfect way to purchase specialty tires when you are on a tight budget. Playground Flooring When the tires have become too worn to be used again, they can be chopped into tiny pieces and used as flooring for outdoor playgrounds. Many companies in the United States collect used tires and convert them to playground material. The tires are washed, then fed through a pulverizing machine that cuts them into tiny bits. The bits can be painted bright, cheery colors to match the playground’s equipment. Used tires make excellent playground flooring because they offer a soft, bouncy surface for children to run and play on. The elasticity of the used tire material can soften the landing if children should fall on the playground. Recycling Used Tires There are also manufacturers who recycle the material from old tires and create new tires. Recycling is the best way to make sure that most of the materials of used tires are combined and re-used in ways that are healthy for the environment. Recycling used tires is also a way to conserve the precious petroleum products that are used to create new tires. Used tire recycling creates perfectly good new tires from tires that have been worn out through regular use. It is a process that benefits consumers and tire producers because it uses fewer resources but makes sure that enough tires are available.
