Sell Recovered Scrap Metal →Browse the FAQsMost people assume scrap tyres work like scrap metal — sell them, get paid. In reality, tyre disposal is usually a fee-based service, and the actual recoverable value is the steel belting and wire recovered during processing, not the whole tyre itself. This site breaks down the real economics and regulations question by question.
