drivers generate more than six million scrap tires
annually. Many of these tires are simply
buried in landfills or burned as fuel. The staff at the Maryland
Environmental Service believes there is still
value in these waste tires.
The Service operates a tire recycling facility in Baltimore,
Md., that is turning what was once
considered garbage into a valuable commodity.
The Service’s
recycling plant can grind more than 8,000 tires
per day and produces crumb rubber in sizes ranging
from 5 to 40 mesh (.5 mm to 4 mm). Also produced
is a 3/8” to 5/8” (9 mm to 15 mm) landscape
grade material.
The recycled
rubber is then sold for a variety of applications
including sports fields, playgrounds, horse
arenas, road surfaces and the manufacture of
automotive parts.
