We buy tire rubber once it is cut, shredded, ground, buffed or peeled, plus scrap inner tubes and curing bladders, by the truckload from anywhere in the USA and Canada. No whole tires.

Retread plants, tire dealers, tire processors and tire manufacturers all make scrap that most recyclers turn away: buffings, peels, nuggets and trims, cut and shredded truck tires, specialty tires, inner tubes and curing bladders. 24tons buys all of it, with one call and one truck.
