Title: place to get rid of tires
Post by: chevystudz7105 on February 04, 2012, 01:19:50 AM
just wondering if anyone knows of a place around the midland, bay city, or saginaw area where i can take old tires that i have and get rid of?   got a few old ones sittin out back  and here next weekend i will have another 10 tires off a 75 flatbed truck im scraping from my work.  was just going to leave the tires on  but since its a semi tire  its $10 a tire they take off my total so  i dont want to lose $100 off my total

thanks

almost to coleman on saginaw rd   there is a place that you pay to leave them there alot cheaper than the landfill    they take them and grind them up into rubber mulch   (playground)  used to be like an old lumber yard ?          car tires    you pay more for larger tires.      they take them on or off rims for more $$

Take a utility knife and cut the sidewalls away from the tread and you can just throw them in the garbage.  Its pretty easy to do I've literally done thousands of them.

yea it used to be the old saw mill untill about 02-03 then it closed down. i used to live a quarter mile down the road from it. now im on the other side of town a mile from the shell station  ;D and i think it cost $1.50 and up per tire  ??? and also depends on the size

got a friend who is a farmer that i guess is going to take them since they are pretty much brand new.  so that takes care of having to get rid of them.   thanks for the replys tho
