Rubber tires are sturdy and designed to last for years. However, the benefits of vulcanized tires morph into major environmental problems and potential health risks as the tires wear out.
Tire stockpiles provide homes for pests such as mice, rats, snakes and mosquitoes. They are also are a potential fire hazard and can contaminate surface water run-off. In some states, used tires are banned from landfills as they do not decompose for years, and displace landfill covers by rising to the surface. Junk yards and backyards filled with useless old tires are unsightly and dangerous.
