For specialty tire manufacturers, retreaders and tire service companies

Specialty Tire Recycling

We buy aircraft, solid and pneumatic specialty tires once they are cut into pieces or shredded: forklift, industrial, press-on, airport ground support and aircraft tires. Full truckloads from anywhere in the USA and Canada. No whole tires.

Who we buy from

Specialty tires are hard to recycle. Cut or shredded, we buy them.

Most tire recyclers are set up for car and truck tires. Aircraft tires, solid and press-on tires and industrial pneumatic tires are built differently, and scrap from them often has nowhere to go.

We buy it from specialty tire manufacturers, aircraft tire retreaders, forklift and industrial tire dealers, solid tire pressing shops and tire processors that cut or shred specialty tires, across the USA and Canada.

Cut them into pieces or shred them first: we do not take whole tires.
