When you arrange scrap tyre collection, your business remains legally responsible for ensuring those tyres are handled correctly.

We provide fully compliant, licensed waste tyre collection services within 50 miles of Meopham, covering Kent, Surrey and Essex — helping garages, MOT centres and fleet operators meet their legal obligations.

Your Legal Responsibilities as a Garage or Fleet Operator

If your business produces waste tyres, UK law requires you to:

• Use a registered waste carrier
• Store tyres safely
• Prevent fire risk and environmental harm
• Keep accurate waste transfer documentation
• Ensure tyres are sent to authorised recycling facilities

Failure to comply can lead to substantial fines and enforcement action.

We help you meet these requirements properly.

Registered Waste Carrier

All tyre collections are carried out under a valid Environment Agency Waste Carrier Registration.

This ensures:

✔ Legal transportation of waste tyres

✔ Traceable disposal routes

✔ Protection for your business

✔ Reduced compliance risk

We recommend that all garages verify waste carrier registration before allowing tyre removal.
 

Waste Transfer Notes Provided

Every collection includes a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) detailing:

• Type of waste collected
• Quantity
• Collection date
• Carrier details
• Transfer location

You should retain these records as part of your duty of care obligations.

Proper documentation protects your business during inspections or audits.

Responsible Tyre Recycling

Waste tyres collected from:

• Gravesend
• Dartford
• Maidstone
• Redhill
• Basildon

are transported to authorised recycling facilities.

Tyres are typically processed for:

• Material recovery
• Rubber crumb production
• Civil engineering use
• Energy recovery (where permitted)

We do not support illegal dumping or untraceable export practices.

Safe Tyre Storage Guidance for Garages

Until collection, businesses should:

• Store tyres in designated areas
• Avoid excessive stacking
• Keep tyres away from ignition sources
• Prevent water accumulation
• Maintain access for safe loading

If you’re unsure about safe storage limits, contact us for guidance.

Why Compliance Matters

Improper tyre disposal can lead to:

• Large fines
• Business disruption
• Environmental damage
• Reputational harm
• Insurance complications

Working with a licensed tyre collection provider protects your operation and demonstrates responsible environmental management.
