Liberty Tire Recycling

Liberty Tire Recycling is the premier provider of tire recycling services in the United States. By reclaiming more than 33 percent of the nation’s discarded tires, Liberty Tire annually transforms more than 140 million tires into raw materials for smart, sustainable products that improve people’s lives.

With innovative tools, technologies and processes, Liberty Tire is a revolutionary American conservation enterprise – from coast to coast, and from whole tire to end product. The company’s commitment to finding new and better ways to RECLAIM, RECYCLE and REUSE bridges the sustainability goals of scrap tire generators nationwide with those of local scrap rubber consumers.

Eco-Friendly Service

With the largest network of tire recycling facilities in the nation, Liberty Tire Recycling is a one-stop, coast-to-coast tire collection service.

Tires of every shape and size are collected from a vast line-up of customers at more than 60,000 locations nationwide. The company maintains a network of door-to-door reclamation services with processing plants at strategic locations throughout the country.

And to rid communities of dangerous abandoned tire piles, Liberty Tire has remediated more than 150 dump sites littered with nearly 40 million scrap tires during the past 7 years, exceeding any other organization in the nation.

Coming Full Cycle

Scrap tires collected by Liberty Tire Recycling are processed and refined by size-reduction techniques designed to achieve a range of particle sizes as small as 600 microns. Various mesh sizes of crumb rubber become the ideal raw material for a wide variety of applications, including molded rubber goods and adhesives.

Larger sizes are used for civil engineering applications as a substitute for stone aggregates, or as fuel to power kilns, mills and power plants. Smaller sizes are incorporated into a number of industrial, athletic field, paving and landscaping applications, among others.

Products of Tireless Work

The improved function and long-lasting characteristics of recycled rubber bring quality to customers’ product lines while serving the important function of reaching conservation goals.

As manufacturers discover the inherent value of recycled rubber and embrace the environmental impact of recycling, scrap tires continue to be shredded and ground into various sizes of powders, crumbs and nuggets for use in more and more products.

Much of the recycled rubber produced by Liberty Tire is used as crumb rubber and industrial feedstock for manufacturers, as tire derived fuel for use in industry, or as rubber mulch in landscaping and playground applications.
