In the capital, it is impossible to hand over used car tires for free. There is only one collection point for used tires in the whole of Moscow, which does not serve its customers free of charge. You can also leave old wheels for money at a tire shop, but not every establishment provides such a service.

An attempt to hand over worn-out car tires in a civilized manner brought Muscovite Vladimir Kuznetsov to journalists. He told MN that it is impossible to do this in a metropolis for free. “I honestly wanted to recycle my old tires, but it turned out that this was a big problem,” admitted Vladimir Kuznetsov, owner of Nissan. First, the car enthusiast turned to a tire shop located in his area, but they refused to accept the tires. In the second tire service - too. In the third, it turned out that you need to pay 280 rubles for each.

In theory, tires can be taken to plants that recycle them. In Moscow, this is done by the Tushinsky Machine-Building Plant (TMZ). However, MN was informed there that they only accept tires in large quantities, several tens of tons.

There is only one tire collection point in Moscow; it is located at Ostapovsky Proezd, building 10, in Tekstilshchiki. They charge about 130 rubles for one passenger car tire. Mikhail Vinogradov, deputy director for the operation of the special base of the Moscow State Unitary Enterprise Promotkhody, which owns this point, said that the institution is forced to charge clients a fee in order to cover transportation costs, because processing plants, where the tires are then sent, accept tires for free at best. “As long as the rubber market is not developed, no one wants to buy it. Tires can now be called waste rather than recyclables,” complained Vinogradov.

It is interesting that the TMZ website published a whole series of materials that are made from crumb rubber obtained from tire recycling - these are paving, stair and floor tiles, lining of sewer manholes, tram and railway crossings. Also crumb rubber added to asphalt, it is used to make coverings for yard sports fields, speed bumps, etc.

Vinogradov noted that the main clients of the collection point are now transport companies that bring tires in large quantities, but these are rare guests. “Motorists prefer to throw tires in trash cans,” the deputy director believes. He explained that Promotkhody also cleans containers for bulky waste. Very often, among other rubbish, there are old tires. “Tires cannot be taken to regular landfills, so we have to collect and dispose of them at our own expense,” summed up Mikhail Vinogradov.

The words of the deputy director of the special base were confirmed by Vladimir Kuznetsov. “I drove them to the dealership for a week - smelly, rubbery, dead tires. I thought about welding them onto the roof, perhaps as a sign of protest, and then threw them in the trash for household waste", he said.

In the meantime, recycling tires into regular garbage containers- an administrative offense that is punishable by a fine for individuals in the amount of 5 thousand rubles, for legal entities - in the amount of 20 thousand rubles.

Alexey Kiselev, head of the toxic program of Greenpeace Russia, said that rubber recycling is a costly process that, as a rule, does not pay off. “It’s not very fair that the burden falls on a private individual,” Kiselev believes. He noted that in the European Union, motorists hand over tires absolutely free of charge. Tire manufacturers pay for recycling there. Perhaps such a rule will soon be introduced in Russia. In October 2011, the State Duma held the first reading of amendments to the federal law “On Production and Consumption Waste,” which provide for financing the recycling industry at the expense of product manufacturers.

Where to take car tires for recycling in Moscow?

It is not easy to hand over tires for guaranteed recycling in the capital, but it is possible! The difficulty with tires is as follows:

• transporting tires over long distances to these very rare factories is unprofitable (tires weigh a lot, they are not packed tightly into transport, that is, partly air is transported)

Therefore, if a collection of tires is organized somewhere, it is usually for the money of the dealer (50-100 rubles/piece), which covers transportation costs. But there is another way to look at this: while we do not have a recycling tax in our country (that is, the price of a product does not include the cost of its further disposal), this amount can be considered a voluntary contribution from an environmentally responsible car owner.

Typically, large retailers and chain tire shops accept tires.

And if you have studded tires, you will have to pay 150-200 rubles! It turns out that Russian tire recycling factories really don’t like to accept studded tires, because in this case, all the “studs” must be removed before disposal. Manually.

Old tires are thrown into the nearest landfill or burned, releasing dangerous carcinogens into the atmosphere. Period natural decomposition tires last at least 100 years, and where they burn, the soil does not bear fruit for another 10 years.

Used tires are classified as hazardous waste. But at the same time, they can be used as raw materials for the production of car mats, wheels for furniture and wheelchairs, waterproofing and roofing materials, as well as many other products that accompany our everyday life. Recycled tires produce crumb rubber that has increased elasticity, abrasion resistance and chemical inertness.
