The week of November 10th 2014 is apparently National Recycling Week in the US. Since Cleveland Scrap Cars is an auto recycler specialized in buying junk cars for cash, we pay homage to this week. Our customers are generally looking to sell my car for cash, since we buy junk cars throughout Cuyahoga County. On November 10, 2014 there is an article titled ‘Tire recycling has come a long way’ posted on tirebusiness.com from which I have the following excerpts: “The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) issued a report that more than 90% of scrap tire piles in the U.S. have been cleaned up while 96 percent of the more than 230 million tires discarded in 2013 were reused in several markets. The number of stockpiled tires has dropped to 75 million in 2013 from 1 billion in 1990. Three scrap tire markets consumed 86% of annually generated tires in 2013 — tire-derived fuel (TDF) used 56%, ground rubber 25%, and civil engineering 5%. TDF is used by the pulp & paper industry and the cement industry as a supplemental fuel due to the high BTU content. Ground rubber is used to create a variety of products including athletic fields, playground cover and binding agents used to create asphalt road surface. Finely-ground scrap tire rubber also is used by some manufacturers in new tire construction. Civil engineering applications use shredded tires as a substitute for other materials such as sand or gravel. Common uses include road & landfill construction and septic tank leachate fields. Tire manufacturers have worked to establish effective scrap tire management, often funded by fees on tire sales, to enforce regulations, clean up tire piles & promote environmentally sound, cost-effective markets for scrap tires. The numbers tell the story: the effort is paying off in a cleaner environment.” This is a very positive trend to see these old junk car tires being reused.
