We run a truckload once a quarter and pay ten bucks to have our county transfer station to recycle them. Apparently different 'dumps' even just here in California charge different amounts. It's a confusing item. Wish more of them got taken in the meantime for projects, but...

Also, we've been posting our tubes, tires, and metal scrap to free on craigslist so if any gets claimed before they get recycled, bonus. However, space prevents us from storing more then a banana box of used tubes, and the outdoor staging piles of tires and metal scrap.

We give ours to some local artists who make bike jewlery with them and we share a space with a gardens program who uses them for planters and boxes.

Try and artist or art coop.   I have seen a lot of art based on used tires, both art featuring recycled material and bicycle specific art.
