Scrap Tubes Recycling
We buy scrap inner tubes and tire curing bladders by the truckload, from any state in the USA and any province in Canada.

Looking for a buyer for scrap inner tubes or curing bladders? That is what we do.
Scrap inner tubes pile up at every shop that still runs tube-type tires: farm and tractor tire dealers, OTR and mining tire shops, retread and recap plants, commercial truck tire dealers, RV and trailer service centers and scrap tire collectors. Tire plants build up used curing bladders the same way. Most landfills and tire recyclers will not take them, and few companies buy them.
24tons has bought and recycled scrap inner tubes and bladders across North America since 2011. We take any type of tube, butyl or natural rubber, and butyl curing bladders from passenger, truck and OTR tire production.
Every load goes to rubber recycling. You get paid for material you were paying to get rid of, and a regular pickup keeps it off your floor.
