Western Tyres Ltd is a licensed collector of tyres helping tyre retailers comply with UK and European legislation by collecting scrap tyres and ensuring their safe disposal. Western Tyres Ltd has been established 62 years.
Making Use of Waste Tyres
After collection Western Tyres Ltd sorts, grades and categorises tyres so that they can be reused in other ways.
Used tyres can provide fuel for cement kilns or be turned into products like flooring, road surfaces, furniture and shoes.
Tyre bales can be used in the construction of modern engineered landfill sites and flood defences.
If waste tyres are in good condition, they can be re–moulded and put back on the road as ‘re-treads’.
Helping tyre retailers dispose of Tyres for 62 years.
