Looking to get rid of your old tires? You can make a big difference for a person that can’t quite afford to get a new set of tires but still need to get places in a car. Here are some charities that help get your tires to the people that need it the most.

Recycle Tires For Cash

If you are trying to get a little compensation for you donation, tire recycling disposal is a good way to recoup some losses and stay environmentally friendly. Check out this article for a few different ways to make cash off of used tires so that you can get some new tires!

Donate Your Tires Locally For Other Purposes

Donating your tires doesn’t always mean that they will go back on a vehicle. Most tires that people consider donating are actually beyond repair for automotive use but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have any use for other purposes. You can donate your tires locally to schools and even parks to build things like playground equipment, football fields and even floor materials and tables. Local recycling centers have many uses for recycled tires!
