EPA ought to come pick them up from bike shops or pay me to do it on a bicycle and then we use the rubber to payback the EPA. I don't know. I have spent half a day riding my bike around looking for a recycler to take my tire and I have called @ 6 bike kitchen's in my local area as well as the local costco and nothing. I got some leads but they did not pan out. Resource revival only wants chains. An local artist who makes things out of rubber may be an idea but yeah I need to find an industrial infrastructure to recycle my tire. It is a shame that bike shops don't just eat the expense of accepting tires and then hold them in storage until a recycler can pick them up, say twice a year. I guess there is no money in it.
