“In no case should you turn old tires into flower beds and put them in summer cottages. Car tires are waste from the fourth hazard class, which is quite a serious threat. This class contains many types of waste that we certainly do not want to see at home, but for some reason we do not find tires dangerous and we put flower beds of them in front of our houses, ”said Troshanov.
The automaker advised to hand over car tires for recycling, for example, to a tire assembly or a specialized environmental service. There are also businesses that accept tires for a fee,” he said.
