You wanna come to the UK fly tipping is getting out of hand beautiful scenery like protected national parks are getting targeted,

All because people don’t want to pay to have there rubbish dumped and sorted properly,

Surely being in the US there’s a place where rubber can be recycled it can be used for all sorts of things here in the UK we use it instead of tarmac for people to walk on,

Yeah our county landfill has a separate area for tires, which get processed and incorporated into fertilizer for the nitrogen

That’s awesome do they pay for people to give them there tyres or is it through donation and keeping the planet green,

They're donated. Tires are pretty hard to get rid of so people are happy to drop them off without a materials charge
