Dispose of your worn tires intelligently

With a growing global car fleet, the issue of scrap tires becomes pressing. What to do with all those old tires? It can’t just be made into furniture, sculptures or railings for drag racing. Let’s take a look at the solutions available to you to give your old tires a second life.

An ecological… and economical question!

The best solution available to you is to ask your favorite garage to take back your old tires. In fact, since 1999, garage owners in Quebec have participated in a vast province-wide tire recycling program. This government program is supervised by the organization RECYC-QUÉBEC, in the wake of a greater awareness movement among mechanics, manufacturers and the rest of the population about the importance of recycling.

It is therefore a special commitment, established between the government and garages, to take back used tires, even if you arrive with your new tires. In addition, one of the advantages is that you can donate your old tires without necessarily having to buy new ones. Do you have a bunch of old tires from your last three cars lying around in the shed? It’s time to get rid of it.

Like cats, tires have many lives

Many uses await your tires after their life on your axles. It is found in particular in floor covering plates, carpets, synthetic materials for sports fields, as well as in the manufacture of solid rubber wheels. If you still have doubts, trust the numbers. The results may surprise; since 1993, there have been more than 77 million tires treated and recycled in Quebec alone. Thanks to this program, more than 85% of old tires are now recovered!
