April 22 is Earth Day and since used tires have no place in the environment, we thought we would tell you what happens to the tires that have reached the end of the road. Of course Gatto’s doesn’t toss them into landfills. Experts estimate that it could take tens of thousands of years for a tire to completely decompose in a landfill. Some people think they never will. Since very few of us have lived tens of thousands of years to test the theory, it’s tough to know. But for the sake of argument, we’ll say it’s a loooong time.
At Gatto’s your worn tires take a trip to the recycling plant, where they end up as recovered rubber, steel and fiber. These materials are then recycled and reused, reducing the carbon footprint for all of us.
So roll on into Gatto’s and roll out with some new tires. We’ll take care of the old ones. We promise.
