Many people just dump them on the side of the road , even some tire retailers . A possible solution may be to provide an incentive or bounty to the public on old tires , that means people would get paid to take them to a recycle center ; like a county landfill . Why not handle them like batteries,and aluminum cans ? Use some grant money for some pilot projects in several rural counties . Keep America Beautiful could help this committee get motivated .
