Tyre recycling in the UK: what you should know
Tyre disposal in the UK can be problematic without the right team to help. The UK government is taking extra measures to reduce carbon emissions and secure a cleaner, greener country for our future, and the future of our children. However, tyres – like many rubber products – are not biodegradable. This means that if they end up in landfill, they can cause issues such as contamination of soil or creating a fire hazard.
There are limited ways to properly dispose of tyres in Scotland, England and Wales and it makes sense to use the best tyre disposal company to take care of your needs. Whether you’re scrapping old tyres after a personal vehicle renovation project, or are a commercial customer looking for a long-term UK tyre disposal solution, we’re on-hand to get the wheels in motion.
Scotland tyre recycling: the environmental choice
We ensure that 100% of the waste tyres and associated materials we collect are recycled. As a professional recycling contractor, we are fully licensed to transport and recycle tyres and we do so in an efficient, professional and environmentally-conscious manner.
How to recycle tyres in the UK
Recycling tyres comes with an environmental risk, and the process itself can be quite intensive. Because of these risks, we highly recommend that you leave your UK tyre disposal needs to the experts. Our team is licensed by all relevant authorities in the United Kingdom to ensure your tyres are recycled in an efficient and eco-friendly way. Don’t take on the responsibility of disposing tyres yourself – if you get it wrong, you could risk facing a fine. Instead, take the easy option: pick up the phone, give our team and call and we’ll be more than happy to discuss your requirements. No tyre disposal job is too big or small for us, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your requests.

What happens to recycled tyres?
There are numerous uses for old tyres which don’t necessarily involve a full recycling process. For example, some tyres can be re-treaded and used again. Others are repurposed for use in children’s play areas, or as crash pads at a local go-karting track. The possibilities are near endless, even before any industrial recycling process has begun. When tyres are recycled at a dedicated plant, the resulting materials can be used for all manner of new products. Many tyres go on to be used in the remoulding industry. Some go on to be used in the production of running tracks and equestrian centres. Your recycled old tyres could be part of an arena for the next generation of the UK’s Olympic athletes! This is just one good reason to correctly recycle your tyres using our trustworthy and reputable service.
