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.

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.

For those in Canada, MEC will (or at least used to) take tires to recycle. I've heard that REI and even Costco have a similar program in some communities in the US. .g

In Alberta, the Alberta Recycling Management Authority takes tubes and tires for rubber recycling. So we have tire recycling cages located at both of our shops. (Part of the reason they're able to offer the service is because of us: the retail bike shops don't throw out nearly as many tires as us.)

For details about how they do it (if you want to get tire recycling in your own region), contact them.

Regarding MEC, they asked us, even though we had a partnership agreement with them, to stop dropping off our tires years ago because we had so many. Since then we pay $1 per tire to have them properly recycled (by the same company that picks up theirs). I think we spent about $1200 doing so last year, and since we can afford to do so we shall continue.

Here in Ontario there's the https://www.ontariots.ca/sp/index.html (Google "tire stewardship program" and you'll find more for other places), but they currently do not accept bike tires. I asked my MPP about this, and even got a reply from the Ministry of the Environment saying, as I already knew, that bike tires were not included in the current project. Thanks guys...

I heard the British Columbia got bikes tires added to their program, and would love to find out how they made that happen.
