Tires are a popular item to recycle because of the wide variety of uses they can offer once they're given new life. Besides fuel, a few of these new uses can include being turned into hot-melt asphalt pavement, flooring, crumb rubber modifier, playground equipment, and artificial turf.

The rubber tyre recycling process often begins at the dealer's, when you bring in your car to have the old, worn-out tyres replaced. You can also take your tyres to a tyre recycling plant, or household waste recycling centres. However, there may be a limit to how many you can take, and you may also be charged.

There are many other uses of recycled car tires, including garden mulch, drainage foundations, shoe products for developing countries, etc. About half a million tons of tires become mulch, molded goods, etc.
