Motorcycle tires eventually reach the end of their service life, but there are several options for handling them responsibly after removal.
Tires contain rubber, steel and other materials that can potentially be recovered through recycling. In a typical recycling process, tires may first be reduced in size, followed by separation of steel and other materials. The recovered rubber can then be processed into different sizes for various applications.
For motorcycle owners, proper disposal is an important part of maintaining a responsible approach to used tires. I am interested in learning how motorcycle riders and repair shops in different areas currently handle tires after replacement.
Are used motorcycle tires commonly collected for recycling in your area, or are they mainly sent to tire dealers and waste facilities?
