Take them to the tip 2 at a time every time you go past Very Happy Or put them on e-bay/freecycle. Someone like g will be along to take them off your hands.

Lots of council tips will not accept tyres.

Sickpup can only think of...

But he suspects they will only take skiploads. Confused

Blimey oh Reilly...that's a lot of bikes...why don't you go down your local go kart track and see if they want to use the tyres as walls?

Talk to your local tyre place and ask if you can pay some cash to add to their pile.

Or find a place you don't like like and sneak them in there after hours!

Nixon - I have some supercorsas in that size, but not sure how new they are.

Worth checking with your tip; as with Jay; Reading one takes two at a time.

If you local tip wont accept them, dump them outside the tip when its closed.

People dump tyres round here all the time because no where takes them.

They say any one of those recycling centres will take tyres and 4 per house holder, two people in the car, 8 tyres a time.

A good friend of mine hacksaws them and stick them in the wheelie bin.

I always dispose of oil properly though.

Dump them outside your local MP or councillor's office with a note on them saying "These wouldn't be here if $YOUR_TOWN 'recycling' centre took tyres".
