    Dear all,

    I have a quick question one of you might be able to answer.

    I recently bought a new set of tyres. I’ve replaced the rear one, and the front is soon to follow.

    However, what should i do with the old tyre? It’s badly worn, I wouldn’t want anyone to ride it 2nd-hand.

    Apparently car tyres can’t go to landfill, but must be recycled / properly dealt with. The ban doesn’t apply to bike tyres – but does anyone know how i can do the right thing anyway?

    Thanks,

    James.

    the local recycling center here* (or ‘tip’ as it used to be) now has a section for tyres, car and bike so you may find your local place has this also..
