Used tires are an environmental hazard. In landfills, a large pile of discarded tires can quickly turn into a dangerous fire that is difficult to extinguish and spews pollution. Improper tire disposal is illegal in many municipalities. Recycled tires may become entirely new products, or a substitute for fossil fuels under certain controlled conditions. Tire recycling businesses are in demand to safely handle, store and transport tire waste.
Starting a tire recycling business can help the environment. Instead of piling up in the local landfill and potentially starting a hazardous fire filled with pollutants, recycled tires can be broken down for use in other product or be retread. By learning how to start a tire recycling business, you can help preserve the environment as well as become a member of this fast-growing industry.
You really can earn over $100 a day recycling old tires in almost any populated section of North America," says Washington State's Bob Stevenson. "I've been doing it for years in a number of different cities as far east as Lansing, Michigan and as far north as Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. And, contrary to what you probably believe, you don't need a truck to get into this business, the work is not heavy, and there are plenty of old tires lying around just waiting for you to pick them up!"
