Rubber recycling is a complex technological process, which is carried out by organizations that have the appropriate equipment to carry out such activities and a package of permits.

Environmental impact

Rubber processing and disposal in Moscow affects not only the Russian economy, but also the state of environment in the country as a whole. With increasing total number cars, the volumes of rubber requiring recycling - worn-out car tires - increase proportionally.

This process should be carried out exclusively on the territory of specialized enterprises due to the fact that such waste, in accordance with current legislation, belongs to the 4th hazard class. Consequently, used car tires that are unsuitable for further use cannot be stored at a landfill, buried in the ground, taken to a general landfill, or burned in an incineration plant.

In Russia today there is a clearly developed the legislative framework regarding the conditions for accepting and recycling tires for money, however, the problem has not been fully resolved due to the fact that new technologies for recycling rubber waste are not being implemented effectively enough.

The important points of rubber recycling in Moscow today are the following:

• Compliance with environmental norms and standards, safety for working personnel. The technology for recycling car tires must solve the issue of non-pollution of the environment in both quantitative and qualitative terms.
• Rubber processing technology must be effective not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of the quality of the resulting secondary raw materials or new, ready-to-use products.
• The recycling of tires must be combined with the production of secondary raw materials. Only under this condition can a golden mean be achieved by minimizing the harm caused by improper recycling and creating a waste-free cycle for the production of quality products from recycled materials.

Accepting rubber for recycling for money is a business that promises good dividends

Receiving used tires can be turned into a fairly profitable business with a reasonable minimum investment. As practice shows, the business of accepting used rubber pays off within 6 months. That is, by opening your own enterprise that accepts rubber from organizations and individuals for money, all your initial financial investments will pay off and begin to make a profit within a short time.

The profitability of an enterprise that accepts rubber for recycling for money can be greatly increased by introducing new technologies into production that make it possible to obtain new products from waste raw materials that are in high consumer demand among the population.

What can you get from old tires?

Implementation modern technologies into the tire recycling process allows you to turn an already profitable business into a waste-free production facility, the following products will roll off the assembly line:

• Crumb rubber is a raw material used to produce rubber roofing and mats, sanitary seals and shoe soles. Crumb rubber is also actively used in laying and repairing roads - it is one of the basic components of asphalt.
• Pyrolysis carbon used in industrial plants.
• Liquid synthetic fuel is an analogue of oil.

Accepting tires and rubber for recycling in Moscow for money is a profitable business and great way make a feasible contribution to the stabilization of the environmental situation in the country.

If the tires have served their useful life and it has become unsafe to drive on them, the owner replaces them with a new set. Removed tires are no longer needed, and they also take up a lot of space in the garage, not to mention the apartment. They need to go somewhere. Recycling costs money; sending them to nature or burning them also costs money. big money in the form of a fine. And the owner wants to find better options.

Reception of old tires

A good option is to place an unnecessary set of tires at a collection point for old car tires. And if you manage to sell them, then it will be double luck: getting rid of garbage and earning money for beer.

Where can I submit it for free?

In cities there are collection points for old tires. The official addresses of points providing such services, even in Moscow, are no more than one and a half dozen. In cities with a population of 200-500 thousand inhabitants there will be no more than two or three of them. There are options for free collection of tires at tire shops.

Tire collection is often organized by recycling plants, if there are any in the city. This service is free for car enthusiasts. Transport and other organizations with the formation of a legal entity will have to pay.

Where can I sell it for money?

It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to turn in your tires and get a couple of hundred rubles for it. There are no such points in the country. The option with rubber processing enterprises that pay is not a “passable” option for the car enthusiast. There are two reasons for this.

• The company accepts tires only in large quantities from any suppliers.
• Any batches of rubber are accepted, but by agreement with interested persons and enterprises (tire workshops, car services and unofficial tire collection points).

You can hand over your tires and pay money for it to the same tire repair shops and unofficial collection points. Tires are also handed over to recycling points, where there are tariffs for services.

IMPORTANT! You should not get rid of tires by removing them “out of sight”: to the nearest forest belt, to trash container, to the landfill behind the garages. This garbage takes hundreds of years to decompose, and the decomposition products are toxic. We need to think about our health and the health of future generations.

Disposal methods

Tires are disposed of in the following ways:

• burial;
• burning;
• crushing and crumbling.

IMPORTANT! Tires must be burned in furnaces, and “burial grounds” must be established in places permitted by law.

The process of crumb formation after crushing rubber occurs under the influence of high temperature. If powder is needed, then cryotechnology is used. Crumbs are used in the production of roofing materials, shoes, tires, and in road construction. A sorbent is produced from coarse crumbs that absorbs oil products from the water surface and soil.

Options for use on the farm

For those living in a village or having a farm outside the city, old tires can serve as:

• bird drinkers;
• a swimming pool for ducks and geese;
• flower beds;
• water barrels;
• benches in the garden;
• swings for children;
• garden furniture.

If you use your imagination, a lot is possible.

Is it possible to create a recycling plant: new life for old rubber

For those looking for a niche business, setting up a tire recycling plant is a win-win idea. If there is enough capital for large-scale production with a cycle from processing raw materials to obtaining new rubber products, then such a business will never fail.

People shouldn't be thinking about how to solve issues like selling their own tires. The main task is to preserve nature. There is no need to carry tires further into the forest so that they poison the soil and air in it. It would be better if they were recycled and given new life.

Most of our compatriots still do not know the answer to this question.

And this is not surprising - environmental thinking is not instilled in our country, and the authorities do not pay much attention to the problem of waste disposal (although there are exceptions). Meanwhile, you must understand that you cannot simply throw tires into a vacant lot or into the forest. CATEGORICALLY. And not only because it is uncivilized. Remember - a car tire will decompose (and release harmful substances into the soil and atmosphere) for 100-120 years! That is, your great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren may suffer from a discarded tire...

Besides:

• Mosquitoes love to live in old tires (yes, the same ones that will bite you later). Rats also love old tire dumps.
• If a tire dump catches fire, the ground and air in the area instantly become poisoned.
• To make one tire for a passenger car, on average, 35 liters of oil are required.
• When recycling 1 ton of old tires, 600 kg of material is obtained, which can then be used to make new wheels.

And one more thing to think about. Every year, about 7 million tons fall into disrepair around the world. car tires. So - only 23% of them are recycled. Where do the rest go? They remain on the earth and pollute it (to say the least).

And here is an extract from the Russian “Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences” (Article 8.2). Failure to comply with environmental and sanitary-epidemiological requirements when handling production and consumption waste, substances that destroy the ozone layer, or other hazardous substances entails a fine on citizens in the amount of 1-2 thousand rubles; for officials - 10-30 thousand rubles; on persons carrying out entrepreneurial activity without forming a legal entity - 30-50 thousand rubles or suspension of activities for up to 90 days; for legal entities - 100-250 thousand rubles or suspension of activities for up to 90 days.

Paying for consciousness

Where to put the old “rubber”? Just 10-15 years ago, getting an answer to this question was not easy. But an investigation by Auto Mail.Ru showed that now in large Russian cities“Culturally” you can get rid of car tires without any problems. In most cases, however, it is not the state that should be thanked for this, but private business, which builds recycling plants. There are several ways to get rid of tires, but in most cases they are converted into so-called crumb rubber. Which can then be used in the production of the same wheels. Rubber-bitumen mastics and special slabs for railway crossings are also made from the crumbs. paving slabs. Do you like modern playgrounds with “soft” surfaces that protect kids from injury? They are also from “wheels”.

As a rule, city authorities do not pay attention to the problem of waste disposal. A pleasant exception is St. Petersburg. In the Northern capital there is a whole network of so-called “Ecomobiles” that accept old tires, batteries, batteries, and so on. And completely free. Five collection points are stationary, plus mobile “dumpsters” run around the city. In addition, in St. Petersburg you can take old tires to large retail chains for the sale of car wheels. Moreover, we repeat once again, in most cases they will be accepted absolutely free of charge.

There are no problems with getting rid of “rubber” in Moscow either - tires are accepted by more or less large sellers and “network” tire workshops. True, this is for money - for each wheel the owner will be asked for 50-100 rubles. Well, what do you want - this is Moscow, the capital... True, store employees assure that they do not make money from this (hard to believe), and they only take money for the “delivery” of old tires to the disposal site. And if you have studded tires, you will have to pay 150-200 rubles! It turns out that Russian tire processing plants really don’t like to accept studded wheels. Indeed, in this case, before disposal it is necessary... to remove all the “studs”. Manually.

As a matter of fact, the need to pay for recycling is what angers many motorists. Why, since I can throw them away completely free of charge? Alas, the Moscow authorities (unlike those in St. Petersburg) do not answer this question. Although the capital has its own “Ecomobiles”, which belong to the non-profit “Fund for Rational Use of Natural Resources”. But they come out for free only if you have accumulated at least a thousand (!) old tires, and besides, the reception is paid - 30 rubles per wheel (“tire loading by the customer”). You can, of course, come to the processing plant yourself (there are several of them in the Moscow region), but for most residents of the capital this is, to put it mildly, inconvenient. So all that remains is to appeal to the consciousness of Moscow drivers, because throwing tires into trash can does not solve the recycling problem.

“There really is a problem with recycling tires in Moscow. There are no clear formulations regarding such disposal in the law. And now almost anyone can leave their tires in the middle of the road. And at best he will get off with a fine. A small part reaches the factories,” independent ecologist Nina Dolgikh told an Auto Mail.Ru correspondent.

But we hope the situation will change soon. “We have already adopted a law that introduces a number of mandatory payments allocated for disposal. As soon as the corresponding government decree is adopted, the cost of tires will also include the cost of disposal. And specialized organizations that will recycle tires will receive money from the federal budget. In this case, self-regulation will arise. Everyone will start chasing tires. And we will calmly leave them at the point where they were exchanged for me, and the companies will pick them up. This is the optimal solution. I don’t see any point in increasing fines for throwing tires away. This is a dubious proposal. We should not impose additional fines, we should create conditions when it is profitable to take this tire,” said the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on natural resources Maxim Shingarkin.

Every day in our country dozens, or even hundreds of motorists exchange worn tires for new ones.

Old tires collect dust in the garage for a long time or are immediately thrown into a landfill as unnecessary.

The same fate often awaits rubber waste, gaskets, seals, and other rubber products.

There is no need to rush to throw away tires and rubber goods. They can be professionally recycled and breathe new life into them. In addition, you can get rid of used tires with a small income.

In this article we will give the addresses of rubber processing enterprises and tire collection points.

By crushing tires and rubber goods using special equipment, specialized enterprises obtain from them excellent raw materials for the further production of new tires, construction and household products.

Therefore, it is best to recycle old tires after changing tires.

Exists several parallel directions for the delivery of used rubber products, depending on the clients, their goals and needs, as well as on the receiving enterprise itself:

1. Free tire return.
2. Renting tires for money.
3. Delivery of tires with additional payment from the dealer himself.

Free admission

We accept worn-out tires, gaskets, cut automobile, motorcycle and bicycle tubes from the population and from enterprises with various forms of ownership.

Many drivers are interested themselves, to free up space in your garage, improved ecological situation hometown, so we are ready to sell tires not only for money.

With remuneration: price of rubber per ton and piece

Sometimes the owners of processing enterprises pay for the delivered material in the form of small amounts of money. More serious waste tire collection points in Moscow accept raw materials at a set price.

From enterprises, organizations, private, individual entrepreneurs tires accepted:

1. Studless car tires up to R22.5 – 4,000 rubles per ton.
2. Studded tires and tires ranging in size from R22.5 to R28 – 6,000 rubles per ton.

Prices for tires for individuals:

In addition to paying for returned tires, many specialized car services offer a whole network of a wide variety of services:

• favorable discounts on the purchase of new tires;
• reduction in the cost of tire fitting services;
• out-of-turn service;
• free tire inflation at any time of the day.

We rent for a fee: how much will the client have to pay?

It happens differently.

Specialized tire companies and tire collection points have contracts, concluded with enterprises for deep processing of rubber raw materials.

Typically, these enterprises are always busy with work, since they have more than enough material.

Therefore, mini factories are reluctant to accept used tires from car owners.

Receiving points and tire shops are another matter.

When changing tires, they offer car owners to leave the removed tires with them for free, or pay a small fee for recycling.

In fact, this is payment for subsequent delivery of tires. It can fluctuate between 50-100 rubles. Then, on the basis of an agreement, all raw materials located on the territory of the tire shop are handed over to mini-factories for further processing.

Benefit for the car owner:

• you don’t need to waste your time and money searching for and delivering old tires to a collection point; in fact, their removal will be free;
• disposal of waste in a legal manner;
• caring about the environment and cleanliness of your area.

Where and how much should I submit it?

Processing rubber raw materials and rubber waste on an industrial scale is a complex and troublesome undertaking.

However, enterprising businessmen have long created one based on grinding, decomposition, and creating material for industrial needs.

After all, spent rubber goods are valuable raw materials which can be used effectively.

Where can you sell old tires for money?

Acceptance of tires and rubber goods is carried out by car services specializing in rubber processing, specialized enterprises in the country and mini-factories for its processing.

In the Southern District of Moscow alone there are five such collection points. There are twenty-eight of them in all of Moscow. In the region, there are more than 80 officially registered factories processing rubber waste.

How much are old tires accepted? Price per 1 kg, ton or piece of accepted rubber tires depends on wheel size.

Sizes up to R22.5 are paid at 4 rubles per 1 kilogram. For wheels ranging in size from R22.5 to R28 they pay 6 rubles per 1 kilogram.

The rules for accepting rubber state that when handing over the products, they must be clean, washed, without oil traces or foreign inclusions.

Where else can you buy used tires?

There are countless options for using removed worn tires other than taking them to special recycling centers for money.

Often craftsmen make benches from them to sit near the entrance or in their yard.

“Bald” tires make excellent flowerpots if you fill them with soil.

Summer residents use tires to grow cucumbers and other vegetables by burying them in the ground. They are good retain moisture in their cavities.

You often see original fences around private properties, made in the form of stacks of wheels.

Used tires are used to make various crafts in the form of swans with long necks, which are then colored. Used tires are cut along the entire diameter and make excellent drinkers for poultry and livestock.

Tires from the MTZ tractor are the ideal raw material for creating.

These are just a few of the options for where you can dispose of old tires and waste in the form of worn out wheels.

conclusions

In all developed world countries, the movement for recycling rubber goods, tires, and other waste has been launched. No civilized person would allow himself to throw a used tire, oil filter, or wrapping paper into the bushes.

Russia belongs to the developed civilized countries. Because Cleanliness of the environment comes first for us. By handing over used tires for recycling, we protect our environment from pollution.
