old tires
Bald, cracked circles
Old tires are tires that have been worn out or replaced, typically discarded from vehicles.
They present disposal challenges since rubber degrades slowly, leading to stockpiles and illegal dumping.
Old tires find second lives as playground equipment, garden planters, boat bumpers, and material for rubberized asphalt.
Burning old tires produces thick black smoke and toxic emissions.
