    Is there another place to get rid of bicycle tyres other than the Grey bin?

    I've got rid of mine a few times in the local recycling center. You pay your 3 or 4 euro at the gate and drive in and drop your stuff in the different bins provided. Not really worth going with just the tyres though. They have these places in most large towns and suburbs now

    I'd leave them in the shed until I had a bit to get rid of.

    I've been using mine as protective wrapping for lab equipment, braces for tying things up in the shed but I suspect that I will have to start dumping in the next few years but would like to have them recycled if possible. Are there any car tyre places that would take them with theirs?
