alfamontrealbrera 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Hello all, if, like me, you fit your own tyres you have had to consider disposing of the old ones.I have accumulated a few spent tyres and need to get rid but don't know what to do given the strict legislation that they are now subject to - I just took them to the scrapyard years ago, but I don't think it is that straightforward now.Any information would be really appreciated.Cheers.
