Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Is there a charge for disposing of tires?
A. Yes, due to the high overhead of
processing the tires we have to charge a nominal fee.
Q. Are there any tires you won't take?
A. No. However we cannot accept uncured rubber because it gums up on our
cutters.
Q. Do you accept other products for recycling?
A. No, we only recycle tires.
Q. Are you a licensed processor?
A. Yes, we are licensed by both
Missouri and Illinois.
Q. What happens to the tires after you shred them?
A. In Missouri we make a 1" chip which is taken to Ameren UE where they
burn the chips with the coal. In Illinois they produce a much smaller
material which is used in play-grounds and horse arenas.
Q. We have a farm or property with tires on it,
will you come pick up the tires?
A. No, we only
have pick up service for businesses who handle tires. Individuals must
bring tires to us for disposal. Sorry.
Horse Arena Fill
TIRE SHREDDERS UNLIMITED
INTRODUCES THEIR *ARENA FILL*
RUBBER FOOTING FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR HORSE ARENAS.
Waste tires have been a disposal
problem for years, but when properly processed they can be a asset. Arena Fill is made entirely
from recycled tires and is granulated into a 3/8” nugget that is 99.9%
wire and contaminate free. With the proper base and mixture of sand,
Arena Fill can add years of riding pleasure to any riding surface.
There are many
formulas used when constructing an arena, but some of the most
important things to consider are:
1. The base
should consist of either a compacted well-graded aggregate or clay.
2. The sand
used should be screened and cleaned and be a medium course, hard,
quartz sand.
Angular in shape versus a rounded river sand. Machined angular
sand lays
flat and will not slide like river sand. We recommend a 1” layer.
3. The top
dressing for the arena can come from many different types of materials
but the one
that will last the longest and provide the most protection is rubber.
We recommend
@ 1-1/2 to 2 inches of arena fill.
