Subject: RE: Dispose of old tires



Floyd County, Iowa
Have a couple options here. One is to take them to the landfill and pay them. The other way, the one I use, is take them to my tire store and pay him to get rid of them. I'm not an activist by any means, but right is right and wrong is wrong, IMO.

Or, you can do what some low-life SOB did a few years ago about a mile east of me. Just backed into a field driveway with a truck and dumped a whole load in the guy's field. Of course, the farmer had to get someone to haul them to the landfill. Not sure what the cost, if any, was. Sheriff had a good idea who did it, but couldn't prove anything.

As far as all the suggestions to burn them, or "lightning", or whatever, I personally knew a farmer in Iowa that cleaned mature trees out of a drainage ditch, about a mile, IIRC. Piled them up and put tires in the piles for heat, and lit them. Got caught, and he had to haul the ashes and contaminated dirt from under all the burn piles to the landfill. Not cheap. Just so you know that could happen.
