Haha no, just working on cars. My friends and I have a joke about wearing OSHA approved flip-flops and squinty eyes. I at least almost always have Oakleys on when I work on something outside.You work in a steel mill or glass blowing factory?
What happened to all the glass and former tires used in roadway and bike trail construction??
I realize there were issues 20 years ago but I thought they figured that out?
With the massive amount of potentially recycled materials not being recycled, it begs the BS remarks.Good question.
I figure even in the most ideal scenario, those roadway products only contained a small percentage of recycled materials. The typical recycling smoke and mirror show.
I'm lucky my municipality allows you to put up to 4 tires (any size) at the curb a few times per year on certain dates.
Nope, because 99 out of 100 people have their tires replaced at a tire shop or auto service garage. Even the rare person that has a tire-changer at home uses it to swap summer tires with winter tires, not replace tires outright.Even if you don't sell cars, 5 tires are what one car has assuming full size spare. If a person replaces the tires on 2 of his cars he is screwed.

So you fall in the 1%. I'm not saying no one does it at home but it's just not as common as people on an automotive repair type site tend to think.I replace tires by hand on my old stuff
I take some old tires to the county dump a few times a year, but now they started scanning drivers licenses and saying you're limited to 5 per year. So I searched online for methods of cutting them up to fit in the trash. I guess this is how they do it in the 3rd world. OSHA inspectors head would explode seeing that. Not open toe shoes, but NO shoes at all.
No, as I posted, these two were dumped on my property.Seems pretty cut and dried then; he needs to find out a commercial disposal option since it's part of his business.
Cutting them up and putting them in the dump under the radar isn't a viable or ethical solution to the problem.

What's a pop machine? Something fireworks related and may contain explosives?This is similar to my problem with a bunch of brand new pop machines I inherited, I listed them on fbook and can’t give the **** things away (get a bunch of crack heads that want me to load and deliver a hundred miles for free), local place that takes junk fridges for a $$$$ won’t take pop machines. So I can’t even pay to get rid of them locally.
Ontario does atleast 1 thing right and charges for disposal when you buy the tires. Then you or anyone can take any tires to the local dump or transfer station for free. They put them in a separate pile to be recycled or whatever happens to them. I think it was 10 years ago this was brought in and its rare to find tires dumped anywhere anymore.The Regional District ( BC version of County) announced they would no longer take tires at the local waste transfer station. Almost immediately tires were getting dumped at old gravel pits. The tires were supposed to be taken back to the place where you originally bought them. Sounds OK but often doesn’t work in practise. My buddy wanted to clean up a dump site so he got permission from the District to take them to the transfer station. I went with him and we picked up and dumped all the tires in this photo. There needs to be a better way to collect old tires.
