About Us
The landscape is changing, and Liberty Tire Recycling is at the forefront of a groundbreaking conservation industry. We collect and recycle more than 190 million tires, turning them into raw materials for smart, useful products that improve people’s lives. 15% of tire composition is wire which is removed and recycled by the steel industry.
We do this because we’re committed to a greener planet. According to the EPA, scrap tires can become a breeding ground for disease-carrying mosquitos and other insects. Properly reclaiming and recycling these tires into reusable raw materials protects the environment and public health.
