The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency was faced with the onerous task of removing approximately 45 000 tyres a closed recovery company. The owner died in 2007 before completing the required ejection of 90,000 tires. The need to eliminate old tires until they become a commune for mosquitoes is obvious, but it really need $ 80,000 of the money to finish the work?
The Ministry of natural resources (ODNR) Ohio committed grant for the project funds to destroy or recycle tires properly. Grant funds are often regarded as public funds, but as with all the money spent by the entities local, State and federal money comes from taxes of citizen.
Ohio Revised Code requires property owners to cover the cost of removal of tires or have a link placed against their property until the expense is reimbursed. The owner died and the company closed, the probability of an abandoned salvage, collecting $ 80 000 in the current real estate market is highly unlikely.
Whereas the costs of mounting repair and maintenance to make parks of State, that it is difficult to believe that the ODNR funds could not have benefited, the public spent elsewhere.
Tires are a problem that must be corrected and unfortunately the chore fell to the State, but there may be more economic ways to take care of cleaning the tires in the future. Public bodies can use tires to create courts of sports and play parking places. Instead of spending thousands of dollars of taxpayers ' money to dispose of the tires, why not invite local municipalities to collect as much as they can use to install into public parks?
Tires may buried in dirt so water retention is not a problem and used as a climbing on or in the structure of the piece. Tire could also be used to create a maze or as backdrop for sand volleyball courts prevent the balls from rolling away. Volunteers could flex their creative muscles, paint the tires and use them to "fence" area of sandbox for children.
Tire rubber is also a popular material with makers of footwear that promote "cycling up" only material rather buy new commercially rubber. Nike uses old rubber footwear for the courts of sports and security playground covering to help non-profit groups interested in the improvement of recreational opportunities in communities across America.
Recycling old tires on asphalt road and incineration rubber scrap energy are a trustworthy process that takes time and money to complete. There is nothing wrong with Ohio or any other State thanks to funds from productive use of trash, but when fiscal belt-tightening is of supreme importance, perhaps other disposal methods should be further explored.
