Tyre Recycling Services
In 2006, the UK government made it illegal to send tyres to landfill sites. They must always be recovered and recycled. This makes tyre recycling and tyre disposal services a necessity for many companies – which is where Big Atom comes to the forefront, with a specialty in recycling waste tyres.
Big Atom has recycled over 3 million tyres to date. The positive impact on the surrounding environment is exponential, and not only do we serve the planet with this service, we also aid you and businesses across the UK.
Leave the complexity of waste tyre collection and recycling to us and be assured that we are wholly committed to eco-friendly recycling practices. We have the full regulatory licences and permits required to stay environmentally compliant.
Comprehensive Tyre Recycling Solutions
Big Atom offer a wide range of services including collections and drop offs as part of our comprehensive tyre recycling package. However, as part of these services, we must clarify that we do not participate in or advocate for the provision and reuse of part-worn tyres. Part-worn tyres often fall short of legal regulations in terms of their tread depth and are an unsafe and dangerous solution for tyre replacement.
We have a professional team of drivers that offer a collection service for waste tyres. We are able to collect all types of passenger tyres, both with and without rims, as well as commercial tyres without rims.
Customers are invited to drop off their waste tyres directly to our site in Ellesmere Port. We have a weighbridge to weigh in the tyres and provide all necessary documentation to ensure environmental compliance
All of our services can be tailored to handle many different types of tyres for a proactive, efficient tyre recycling solution. This includes tyres for cars, vans, motorcycles and trucks. These tyres tend to vary in their material, which influences thow we recycled them at Big Atom.
