You more than likely have come here to find out about how you can go about selling used tires, am I right? This post will try to give you some information, and provide you a little push towards your goal of selling those used tires of yours. Whether you are looking to start your own business, or perhaps just looking to get rid of your used tires from your vehicle by selling them, so you can gain some extra money, this blog post will try to highlight that for you.

First of all the internet is going to be your best friend if you are just looking to get rid of your used tires by selling them. There are so many avenues online that you can go to. Some solutions will be free, and some will charge a small fee to sell them. One of the best places to sell your tires for your local area is Craigslist. If you have not heard of Craigslist just simply do a search on Google or any of your favorite search engine, and you will soon find that you can select your local area, and post your ad to sell your used tires. A word of advice for selling your tires on that website, you should sell your tires only locally, and receive the money in person, the website should be used as a medium for conversation, and the exchange between the used tires and the money should be done in person. At least that is how I would do it.

Another alternative you have in selling your used tires, is to go on eBay and auction off your used tire, the only downside to eBay is that you will be charged a small fee for placing your auction online, and the costs of shipping to someone may not be worth the sale of the tire.

If you are looking to getting into the business of selling used tires, you should know if done right it can be a profitable business. Most used tires stores are opened in bigger cities. If you are looking for more information from a business stand point, be on the look out for future posts of mine, as I will likely go into more detail on how you can go about selling used tires from a business stand point.

So you have used tires at your disposal, but what can you do with them besides recycling them, or disposing of the used tires? It’s quite simple actually, you can get creative with your used tires, and make things with them! This could be a fun little project for you, and this post will highlight and give you some ideas of what it is you could do with your old used tires.

Some of the other things I have seen people do with their used tire, is if you are a gardener utilize the tires in your flower garden. Think about the inside of a tire, it can be a great storage holder for plants, You can cut the tire in half so you can put the tire tread horizontally, and you can add your soil, seeds and everything to make a beautiful place holder for flowers and plants. That isn’t the only way to utilize it in your garden, but the important thing is to make it work for your garden, and adapt!

Think about the uses the tires can also have on a drive way, or how about using the rubber of the tires to strengthen something else around the house?

Dumping and recycling tires, facts for the environmentally conscious owner.

How to help out the earth and be a responsible tire owner

Keep the tire healthy longer and prolong its life to delay forced replacement

• Make sure that the tires are always inflated to the proper amount. Make sure you always check the pressure in your tires when they are cold. You should do this at least once a month and before your long trips. You will see the label for the correct pressure in your car. Check the owners manual if you don’t see a sticker
• Check out your tires and inspect them for wear, misalignment, improper balance and improper suspension. Do this once a month
• Check for any objects that have become embedded into your tires. There may be glass, or stones which will cause a loss in pressure
• Rotate the tires around every 6,000 miles or earlier
• Drive carefully, avoid things like potholes, curbs, fast turns/ stoops that will harm your tire

Now for recycling

• Make sure you read up on your states laws about recycling your tire.
• Recycle and replace the tires with a facility in good standing. Always ask the facility manager what they will do with the used tires.
• You can also help out by supporting recycled tire products. You can purchase some of these products
• Make sure that you also contribute by reporting illegal tire dumping. To do this you may call your local/ state waste management. Call the office or the department of environmental quality. There is a booklet available online by the Environmental protection agency.
• With help from people like you, the United States can have a thriving tire reclamation program. It will continue to improve until there are hardly any more illegal dumpings or un-recycled tires. Moreover, one day we might be able to use a more earth friendly tire.
