Vehicle Tyres - Put To Good Use.



Once the tyre's are placed on the upper beach they are covered with beach stones which prevents movement and locks them up ensuring beach nourishment and the shape of the tyre helps prevent longshore drift thus ensuring the upper beach is preserved....
Tyre's can also be stacked as shown in the first picture which removes the need to tie them together with wire...
Only an idea - tyre's are a real landfill problem - could this be an answer!...

  1. With the cost of disposing of old tyres it would be relatively cheap .
    However common sense is not allowed to prevail these days.

  2. The landfill tax is due to rises again to £82.60 per tonne from April 2015 and I also found out that tyres above 1400mm diameter can't be dumped into UK landfill sites so there is no home for them...
    As you say no common sense allowed only meeting on meetings on meetings with phone calls.......
    Not enough localism anymore and too many bodies to deal with prevents a lot of pilot schemes.
