Can You Recycle Bike Tires and Tubes?

2020-05-08

Can you recycle bike tires and tubes?


No, bicycle tires and tubes cannot be placed in the recycling bin at the curb unless your local waste management service specifies that they accept rubber. With this said, there are other alternatives so that you can reuse and recycle bicycle tires and tubes. In a world that`s becoming increasingly aware of irresponsible waste, how can we be sure that the old tubes are properly recycled?


If a bicycle tube is too damaged or worn for a patch, the simplest way to recycle it is to either repurpose it at home, or bring it into a local bike shop that collects them for repurposing.

Their durability and elasticity lend themselves to a number of uses: tie downs, webbing for furniture or shelves, handlebar wrappings, or crafts. You can try these yourself, or drop them off with a bike shop or retailer that will give them a second life. They should NOT go into the recycling can, unless your waste management service clearly states that they accept rubber products.


What about bike tires?


Bike tires themselves, while they last a lot longer than tubes, eventually need to be recycled too. Not only is the rubber mixed with all the additives that tubes are, they are also reinforced with layers of several different types of material. They aren`t just pure rubber.
