Recycling Bike Tires
Posted by easy eco blog
Recycling bicycle tires is not something that has been covered much. The various recycling sites I checked had no information including Earth911. We found that our local Costco would take bike tires to recycle. You should also try your local tire stores and ask them. Specialized had a tire recycling program but discontinued it. This area needs to be addressed by the big bike tire companies pushing such an eco friendly transportation means.
Kenda has a list of companies that recycle bike tubes.
Try to buy more durable bike tires. Racing oriented tires wear out fastest. We have had good luck with Kenda bike tires.
Flat tire? Be sure to patch your tube instead of just replacing it with a new one.
