The four wheels that you own have carried you through thin and thick, in heat and across the snow for thousands of kilometres and now they are tired and worn out. That does not mean you should discard them into the old age home, the landfills as waste.

Part worn tyres, when they come close to the end of their time, people just discard them as useless and they keep on piling up in landfills. They are not wasted, they are packed with energy and valuable plastics and can be recycled and be used again in production as raw material.

How to Save Worn Out Tyres

It all depends on how worn your tyres are, some people sell them to second hand shops or they sell them to tyre recycling agencies. This process is gaining a lot of importance today.
