Drive your dream with Bowater's

What do you do with all of your old car tyres?

Caring about the environment is something we all feel we ought to do more of. Some of us go out of our way to care alot, whilst some go out of their way to not care at all - stuck somewhere in the middle are most everyone else. We are aware that the planet is under tremendous pressure from all quarters but there is also a level of confusion about the whole conversation.

One thing we can all do is make easy choices about clearly obvious situations. Car tyres are not the kind of thing you ought to be throwing into a rubbish dump and burying under a layer of rubbish to be someone elses problem in potentionally a few hundred years. Car tyres are very slow to decompose and are full of a complicated blend of different materials. Thankfully technology has come to the rescue and has generated an easy solution.

2018 tyre recycling

We now have the ability, and easy access, to recycle car tyres in the South Island. This means that with your help we can all work together towards a much better future.

Why recycle?

Recycling is the obvious solution to a really, really big problem.
Remember the days of old when there would inevitably be a massive tyre mountain in the yard of some wrecker in every small town in New Zealand?

It is estimated (2013) that New Zealanders dispose of about 4 million tyres per year. Of that over half go straight into the landfill. 

With the massive increase in vehicles on our roads, coupled with the greater amount of vehiclular travel we are all collectively doing, one of the end results is the higher turnover of car and truck tyres. These all need to end up somewhere, and thankfully now that somewhere can be on the road to be recycled via the team at Mag and Turbo at 20 Vanguard Street in central Nelson.

The next time you are changing over your tyres at Mag and Turbo you will be asked if you wish to recycle your tyres, or take them with you to dispose of them yourself. The cost per tyre to recycle is very low and you will only pay $5 per tyre.

The tyres are collected up and freighted to a recycling plant further south where they get made into all manner of things like flooring tiles for dairy sheds.

 Please consider the end life of the tyre when thinking about needing to change. Come and see Matt and the team at 20 Vanguard Street in Nelson central and they will not only sort you out with some top quality new tyres, but take care of a problem none of us need in our busy lives!
