Why should I recycle my tires and electronics?
When having a car you may have gone through a set of tires and not be sure what to do with the older tires. Did you know that they could be recycled? Yes! Recycling is an option for tires. Just dumping them in a junk yard can create toxins and pose a threat to the environment.
But this alternative is a great way to be sure that they are disposed of in the best way.
When recycling car tires, you are helping reduce pollution.
Recycle Tires offers a wide variety of products. For example, rubberized asphalt is less prone to cracks and absorbs more noise.
E-waste disposal is recycling old electronic devices. Many old electronic devices contain toxic substances that include lead, mercury, cadmium, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride, and chromium. When not disposed of correctly those chemicals can seep into the soil leading to pollution of water and the air. Recycling old devices also saves energy.
This will be the last tire and electronics recycling event hosted by the Augusta Environmental Services of the year.
