I checked with our scrap tire program staff and they shared the following in light of your location:

Huffman Rubber

Deerpath Recycling

See the lists of facilities at https://www.michigan.gov/deq/0,4561,7-135-3312_4123_4122-9262--,00.html.  They also suggested checking with the

landfill to see if bringing in cut tires in is more affordable.

Subject: Tires

I have had many inquiries about the disposal of agricultural tires.  This year we are using Deerpath for the Scrap Tire Grant Event and they charge a steep rate for ag. tires because they do not normally accept them and have to arrange for special equipment to process the ag tires.  Our grant is processed through South West Michigan Solid Waste Consortium, so we all use the same vendor.

My question is, can anyone recommend a vendor that has the equipment to process ag tires?  Or, recommend a vendor that charges a reasonable rate to accept ag. tires?  I have many residents with piles of ag tires and I am seeking resources to assist them.  Any input would be great!

Kindly,
