Thank you for asking.

Hey, perhaps we can join forces.

Here's my used tyre museum.

Yup.. all in our possession.

At work we are having a 'guess how many tyres' thingy....

879, increase by 376 if it extends as far in on the right of the picture.

You're only a twenty-two minute walk from the NRM, easy enough drop off.

You've the fun part of putting them in place!

I liked it when it was little.It looked like a WW 2 Mine.

I keep liking the ball, but .... could those inners not have been mended?
Is it an environmental hostile ball??

It also makes you realise just how many are thrown away though. Something I wasn't quite aware of, scale wise.

I don't get many punctures, the few inners I can't mend are cut up in strips and used as fasteners.
I have seen abandoned tubes along the cycle paths, probably there are many in bins too.
Wonder if they can go in the plastics recycling bin?

[QUOTE 4493150, member: 259"]In Belgian dumps, there are separate bins for bike tyres and car tyres, and it's free, so I suppose they must be recyclable. You only get charged for things which are harder to recycle, like hard plastics and asbestos.[/QUOTE]
Mort, I meant the household blue recycling wheelie bin we get here.
In my area they are for cardboard, plastics and tins.

Not down these parts. Extra charge at one stage to dispose of them.
