In 2003 the EU Landfill Directive banned whole used tyres being sent to landfill, this ban extended to shredded used tyres in 2006.
If you need new tyres on your car, the garage where you have them fitted will normally dispose of your old tyres for you.
If you change your tyres at home, a recognised tyre company (ATS, National Tyre Service, Kwik Fit etc) should be able to dispose of your tyres for a small charge. You can usually find their contact details in the Yellow Pages.
Tyres are not classified as household waste and are not accepted free of charge at your local household waste recycling centre (HWRC). The only HWRC in Warwickshire that can accept tyres for disposal is Princes Drive, however a charge will be made for this service. The disposal charge per tyre is currently around £3.50.
Please note any prices are subject to change, please contact Princes Drive on 01926 430775 to confirm. |
