Tyres are prone to wear out over a period due to constant pressure and friction. As such, our operating expenses are always burdened with the cost of buying new tyres, while we fill the landfills with the old ones. However, there are seven ways you can recycle used and earn money while doing so.
1. Sell locally and online
Portals like Craigslist and Sell My tires are excellent places to list the advert of your used tires. Both of these allow you to sell your tyres online and locally. On Craigslist, if you have a rim attached, you can earn even more money.
2. Reach out to the nearest tyre shop
If you have a tyre shop near you that sells used tyres, you are in luck. These shops will pay you for your tyres, provided they still have some tread life left in them. Compared to selling to a private buyer, you may not earn as much in this option.
3. Sell to a nearby retread facility
A nearby retread facility will also pay you money for your old tyres. However, the tyres need to be repairable for this option to work. How much you will earn through this depends on the quality of the tyre you sell.
4. Find a tyre recycling centre
This is an option for those who have tyres that are beyond the scope of repairing. Find your local recycling facility and sell the tyres for a quick buck. However, make sure the centre does pay money for tyres your sell, for some don’t.
5. Recycle the rims
If a recycling centre does not pay you for the tyres you sell, you always have the option of cashing out your rims. Most tire rims are aluminium and recycling it can get you a good amount of money.
6. Save money via retreading
Instead of buying a new tyre from a tyre shop Manukau has, you can always retread your old tyres. Doing so saves the money you spend on buying a new one. After all the money you save is the money you earn.
7. Go artsy with the tyres
If you have the artistic flair, the world is for your taking. You can upscale and recycle your old tyres by creating fun and useful items. From lawn art and swings to wallets, the options are endless for upscaling an old tyre.
Conclusion
Contrary to what is believed, old tyres are not useless. You don’t have to fill up the landfill. For, you can always recycle it through these seven easy ways. The best part about this is that you can turn this into a side hustle by getting old tyres from your local tyre shop and recycling them. So, are you up for it?
