Default Tyre disposal

My local dump has stopped taking tyres ... ok, so where the feck am I supposed to get rid of them now?!!?

Can you take a tyre to say quickfit and dump it there? I assume they will charge, how much?

Bearing in mind people dumping tyres is a real problem, WTF are the council thinking abolishing tyre disposal at household recycling centres (dumps to you and me )?!!??

Also I am trying to get rid of wheels ... they have tyres on them ... will the dump take wheels+tyres, or even wheels-tyres now?!!?

I am thinking of leaving them all in a pile outside of my local councillors house ... with a note saying, WTF am I paying you my council tax for ... take these tyres or reduce my council tax!!

Tyre places will charge you probs ?1 or something like that, my local council dump doesnt mind tyres why dont you just put them in a bin bag? is a stupid idea stopping people tipping tyres as it will just encourage fly tippin like the pikeys do.

If I was in this position, I'd take them to the dealership I hate and throw them over the fence, let them deal with it.
