Large scrap tire stockpiles present a serious threat to human health and the environment. For one, they provide an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, which of course are carriers of infectious diseases such as West Nile Virus and Encephalitis. It is also worth noting that tire piles also present a dangerous fire hazard as the result of lightning strikes, equipment malfunctions, or arson. The longer a stockpile remains unabated the more likely it is to catch fire.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) estimates that 275 million tires are stockpiled--many of them illegally--across the United States and that 290 million new scrap tires are generated each year. That's one new tire for every individual citizen of the United States each year!

Utilizing cutting edge mobile shredding operations and our own fleet of truck, trailers, excavators, material handlers and mobile processing equipment, Tex-American can recycle tires to our customer specifications.
