[QUOTE=Garfield Cat;18516189]I did not go through all the responses, but was wondering what is the proper way to discard tires and tubes. Are they the same or do tires go with auto tires and tubes somewhere else?

Anybody here in the recycle business?[/QUOTE

Seems not, and that there is lacking concern.
The only REAL RECYCLING is donation to the over-populated homeless. I am not commenting so to endorse them; but only commenting that such people will accept it. Maybe, one will sell it to another in the same living status. But one way or another --- the tires/tubes are Recycled. Your goal is achieved.
But remember: today's homeless society is not appreciative of donations in the same attitude/degree, as society during the early 1900's depression. Today's homeless will take full advantage, of whatever they can get.
