The possibilities are endless! We have a box of free used tubes that sits near our entrance. I use them as bungee cords. Someone picks them up and makes stuff and sells it. I saw a bike tube fanny pack that had been sewn together once. And just yesterday I used a kayak paddle that had bike tube tied to it as a drip stopper.

When we get a large enough load, we fill up a truck and drive down to CRM in south Los Angeles.
There's probably somewhere more carbon effective that you could deliver closer to VT.

We do the same as Mary, and always leave a few tubes in every size to be patched by folks looking for a free tube or a work trade opportunity.
...which still leaves us with about 98% of our old tubes to send to recycling. =(

I cut them up into 1/2" strips, so that I have tiny little rubber bands. They're great for attaching streamers to bicycle handles.

Could the think tank tell me what you/they do with old tire tubes? I'm in northeast VT, far from anywhere. Thanks for ideas, Beth
