Recycling Tires The tires are recycled by a private company. Tires are recycled into not only new tires, but also rubberized playground surfaces; landscaping mulch, truck bed mats; tire-derived fuel; commercial flooring; rubberized asphalt; products used in civil engineering applications; as well as decorative items like coasters. Tires are one of the most problematic sources of waste. Tire stockpiles create a great health and safety risk. Tire piles provide harborage for vermin and a breeding ground for mosquitoes that may carry diseases. Illegal dumping of scrap tires pollutes ravines, woods, and empty lots. If you see a tire stockpile, report it to the Charleston County Environmental Officer at (843) 202-7975.
