Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The auto tire center down the street took a tire I found for $3. Is three dollars breaking the bank for some of you to not mistreat Earth?
You don't get it. Odds are you paid $3.00 for a longer trip to the dump. When the auto shop sends that tire to the recycling center along with the auto tires, the folks at the center will tag it as not suitable for recycling and send it off with the other similar non-salvageable stuff.

The sad simple truth, as that not everything sent for recycling gets recycled.
