Old Tires Can Be Hard to Get Rid Of

It can be very difficult and expensive to get rid of old tires. It is pretty easy to build up a small stack if you don't live close to a place that will recycle them.

I should know about trying to get rid of old tires. When I bought my house 4 years ago, it was an old farmhouse and the property had been in the same family for over a hundred years. The property had been used for farming and a dairy farm at one time.

What I didn't know about the property was how many old tires were hidden in the fields. There was a small stack of tires and I thought that was it but boy was I wrong on that one. After clearing some of the corrals and the areas around the barn I wound up finding hundreds of tires.

Luckily for me, I have a cool brother-in-law that always seems to know a guy and he was able to get rid of the tires and not cost a bunch of money.

Free Tire Recycling in Kent County

When I saw free tire recycling coming to Kent County on Saturday, November 12, I have to admit I got really excited because I had found another dozen tires on the property this year. Then I realized that I live in Newaygo County and not Kent County and you have to be a resident in order to recycle tires.
