Do you also pay for disposal when you buy car tires?

Hello, I seem to remember reading a few years ago that car tires had become more expensive because the manufacturers had to pay something to the state when they were sold to cover their later disposal.

Do I remember that correctly and if so, why do people still have to pay for disposal at the recycling center?

You’re throwing something together. The manufacturer does not charge a fee for the waste tire disposal. This is what the dealer does when selling, and even if you let him do the assembly. He must inform you in advance or ask you. It may also be that you might have other uses for the old tires. Then he puts it in the car and therefore cannot charge any disposal.

As already mentioned, it is a difference between manufacturer and dealer.

As a rule, the Disposal take over when you buy and install new pneus. The Berliner Stadtreinigung e.g. takes old car tires for 2.60 euros per piece. Many regional scrap traders and workshops take only 1 euro per Tires

I’ve never heard that the tyre manufacturer pays an amount for disposal. When the tyre dealer changes then If a fee is incurred for the disposal of the old tire, I have known it for many, many years.

This makes it much more complicated. The tyre dealer on site then has your old tyres of the brand X, for example, you buy new brand Y. The then to calculate back and forth is more complicated than to demand the costs there where they actually arrive.

Incidentally, all tyre dealers currently have problems getting rid of the old tires because too much is on the market and no evaluator who wants to have

I am right to you, the problem is just what about the tires that are made in Asia, for example, and go all over the world. Not everywhere is a fee paid for the disposal of the tires, they are simply thrown away.

Thus, this is not so easy and still best with the disposal fee during tire change.

And as it will be with the batteries of the e-cars.

Theoretically yes, but that gives the same chaos as the one-way pawn. Computerization and monitoring costs more than the actual disposal. Someone then has to distribute the money to all the disposers in Germany and pay attention to the fact that everyone takes over as much old tire as he gets paid. We’ve got that shit with the electrical equipment. Ask an industry insider what’s going on behind the scenes. The Bright Chaos

No. The tyres have become more expensive because the rubber has risen from the market price.

The increase would be introduced in car batteries. There’s a deposit on them.

Disposal is an extra item on the invoice.

True Chevy and this must also be declared as such. Unfortunately, there are always black sheep where this is not clearly stated.
