Our customers consist of national tire companies, national tire disposal companies, manufacturers, local tire stores and even individuals with a few tires to dispose of. Our used tires are graded by tread depth and sold accordingly. Our inventory ranges anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 tires at any one time, depending on the season. We ship tires all over the southeast by trailer and ship overseas to the Caribbean and Central America by container.
One of the major environmental concerns is improper disposal of waste tires. Illegal tire dumps provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes which can transmit disease to humans, livestock, domesticated animals, etc. Tire pile fires can be an even greater environmental hazard. Today, approximately eighty percent of waste tires are recycled in some way, thanks to a growing need for the material that waste tires can provide and efficient means of disposing of waste tires. Transporters who offer to take waste tires at prices too good to be true could be dumping tires illegally. Significant penalties can be levied against a transporter or retailer for dumping waste tires illegally.
We are presently working on a land clean-up program. In this program, we will offer our customers a clean-up of property that has been contaminated over the years with waste tires. We are licensed with the State of Florida as a waste tire collector, license number 0378.
