Whats the benefit of recycling old tires?
Recycling tires saves valuable landfill space. A year ago four million tires were recycled in Alberta which would have required 320,000 cubic yards of landfill. Recycling them resulted in a savings of $27 million. Recycling reduces the risk of tire fires and prevents water that often collects in old tires, creating a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus.
