Responsible disposal and recycling of old tyres is a safe, legal, and environmentally friendly way to get rid of them. There are other things you can do with used tyres, including repurposing them to make a:
Planter – repurpose an old tyre in your garden as a floor or wall planter.
Footstool – paint the tyre and fill it with a big cushion that fits in to create a footstool.
Dog or cat bed – like creating a footstool, simply fill the tyre with a cushion to make a new pet bed.
Tyre swing – the old classic. If you’ve got a suitable tree, tie some strong ropes around a branch and attach it to the tyre for a simple swing.
Bike storage – cut an old tyre in half and secure either half to the ground so a bicycle wheel can slot in between to keep it stood up.
