What We Do
From your yard to recycled rubber, in Scotland
Waste Tyre Collection
SEPA-licensed uplift for garages, MOT centres, tyre fitters, fleets, farms and industrial sites — scheduled or one-off, with duty-of-care paperwork every time.
Tyre Recycling Process
Every tyre is weighed, inspected, shredded and separated at our industrial-scale plant — recovering clean rubber, steel and fibre with nothing sent to landfill.
Rubber Chips & Crumbs
Recycled rubber chips and crumb from 40mm down to 1mm, in a range of colours — for landscaping, equestrian and play surfaces, and Tyre Derived Fuel.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mum called in to get some tires taken from her garden that have been there ages. She said the girl on the phone (maybe Lauren?) was nice and got it sorted for her. She also said the man that took the tires away (she doesn’t remember his name but he had dark hair) was quick and friendly. Thank you for helping out 💜

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kev from the tyre recycling crew is an absolute legend! He swoops in like a rubber-rescuing superhero, hauling away our scrap tyres with a grin that says, “I was born for this!” Punctual, friendly, and probably the only guy who can make tyre pickup feel like a comedy show. Our yard’s never been cleaner—Kev’s the MVP of tyre-collecting! Highly recommend this company! 🚛😄
