Recyclin tyres & tubes

Morning All

Hows everyone doing?

I've been brave and tidied the cupboard under the stairs and have found I'm the proud owner of several thread bare tyres and untold many patched tubes. Does anyone know where these can be sent to be recycled?

i keep a few knackered tubes to use as shims for lights, really cuts down vibration. Also works well as a seatpost boot if you've got a dropper.

I have a couple of spare tubes for that but its the other half dozen I'm looking to get rid of :?

there was a company who made belts etc out of them.

Or do the floor of your workshop/kitchen in them and then clear resin over so the surface is level.

Most councils will have a car tyre recycling place, maybe they do bike tyres too?
