At NexGen Tire Recycling, the journey of a scrap tire doesn’t end when it leaves your facility. In fact, that’s just the beginning of a sustainable process that ensures tires are repurposed in ways that benefit both the environment and communities across Ohio. When our licensed and insured team picks up scrap tires, we're committed to ensuring that every tire is properly handled, processed, and given a new life.

Our trucks, operated by experienced drivers, transport the scrap tires to our certified partner facility, Willig Tire Recycling. This facility is a state-licensed scrap tire processing center equipped with advanced technology to ensure efficient recycling. Here, the tires are processed into many valuable materials, preventing them from ending up in landfills and contributing to environmental pollution. Willig Tire Recycling breaks down these tires into various products that can be repurposed for numerous uses-- Some are very exciting. 

So, where do these recycled tire materials go? The crumb rubber produced from the tire processing is often used as infill on football and baseball fields, providing a safe and resilient surface for athletes of all ages. Recycled rubber from recycled tires can also turned into rubber mulch for children’s playgrounds, offering a soft, durable, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch. Additionally, it can be used in landscaping, such as flower beds, where rubber mulch can last for years while reducing the need for frequent replacements.

At NexGen Tire Recycling, we take pride in knowing that every scrap tire we pick up contributes to a sustainable future. By recycling these tires and converting them into useful products, we help protect the environment while creating materials that can be used in everyday applications. So, the next time you see a football field or playground, remember that NexGen Tire Recycling may have played a role in ensuring those spaces are safe, sustainable, and eco-friendly.
