Learn what to do with your old tires after getting them replaced at your local tire shop.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

When you get new tires put on your vehicle, you may wonder what happens with the old tires. If you’re feeling creative or crafty, you can reuse your old tires around your home or garden. If you don’t want to keep your old tires, your local tire shop can recycle them for you when you get them replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make a Tire Swing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Making a tire swing is a classic way to reuse an old tire. Not only will it add a bit of country charm to your yard, but the kids will have a blast swinging on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick a large tree with sturdy branches, and you’ll be ready for hours of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make a Garden Planter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Old tires can make fun and creative garden planters. To give your tires and garden a pop of color, simply spray paint<\/a> them with fun, bright hues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To hang the planter, use a chain like you’re hanging a tire swing. Drill in a few drainage holes, and fill the bottom part of the tire with potting soil<\/a> and the flowers of your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use old tires to as pond liners or even individual gardens or ground planters.<\/p>\n\n\n
