Practical Guide
This article is written for NSW tyre shops, workshops, dealers, warehouses, and fleet depots that want cleaner operations, easier pickups, and stronger compliance routines.
The process in plain language
Commercial tyre recycling is a controlled workflow: collection → transport → receiving → sorting/handling → processing (including shredding) → recovery pathways.
Your site influences the quality of that workflow. When tyres are staged cleanly, access is clear, and waste streams aren’t mixed, the downstream process becomes faster and safer.
Typical stages after pickup
- Collection and safe loading from your site’s dedicated tyre zone.
- Transport to a managed facility for receiving and handling.
- Basic checks and sorting based on operational requirements.
- Processing steps (may include shredding depending on pathway).
- Material moves into recovery channels rather than unmanaged outcomes.
How your site improves recycling outcomes
- Keep tyres separate from mixed waste and liquids.
- Maintain stable stacks and clear access lanes.
- Use scheduled pickups so tyres don’t degrade into messy stockpiles.
- Keep basic records (date, volume estimate, internal owner).
Next step
If you want the recycling pathway to run smoothly, start with stable storage + scheduled collections.
