Sims Tyre Recycling is licensed as an official waste site by SEPA. We accept most types of tyres that are clean and don't have any foreign matter present, like stones or bits of metal. 

There is a weighbridge on site to check your weight before and after unloading. This takes only moment and we then issue a SEPA approved Waste Transfer Note. We charge per tonne for deliveries, with typically around 120 car tyres per tonne.  For heavy or very large tyres please obtain a quote, as a casing charge may be applicable. Drivers should carry a copy of their Waste or Transport license certificate that can be copied for our (and SEPA's) records

Sims Tyre Recycling also collects and reprocesses all types of used tyres providing this service to over 500 tyre outlets in West of Scotland ranging in size from single site businesses to larger national tyre distributors.

We work with both the Scottish Environment Protection Agency to minimize the environmental hazard of end of life tyres. In everything that we do, we seek to protect our environment and make it a better place.

We continue to invest in carbon reduction opportunities and help all of our customers to comply with their statutory Duty of Care obligations and we work with our manufacturing partners to manage their Producer's Responsibilities. To this end we have sought out and developed responsible alternative uses and disposal routes for 100% of our used tyre stock through both our domestic and international networks.

Sims Tyre Recycling works closely using state of the art technology to produce a range of graded rubber crumb manufactured from waste tyres.

At every opportunity we research and develop new and innovative markets for product supply.
