Tyres

When new tyres are fitted to your car, the old tyres should be disposed of safely by the garage. A maximum of four tyres* per visit can be taken to your nearest recycling centre for recycling. Tyres are shredded and sent abroad as fuel for cement kilns and are also used in the creation of landfill schemes. *Restrictions apply for disposing of some types of rubbish at our household recycling centres including tyres. To find out more please see our guide to waste disposal.
