The method of the present invention for handling scrap tires, includes a step of providing a compacting apparatus to a scrap tire generator (62), such as a tire retailer. Before compacting the tires, the tire can be marked with a unique identifier (64) assigned to every tire generator. By marking the scrap tires with a unique identifier, the scrap tires can be tracked on their way to the final destination. The compacting apparatus provides volume reduction of the scrap tires individually into a form that can have a reduction of at least fifty percent of original cubic volume (66). The tires can be pinched to maintain the compacted tire in the compacted form (67) and prevent the compacted tire from regaining its original shape. The compacted scrap tires can be accumulated inside a tire collection enclosure (68), such as a trailer or dumpster. The collected tires can be transported with much more weight efficient loads of the tires to a transfer station, a recycling facility, or an end user (69).

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de manipuler des vieux pneus et comprenant une étape consistant à fournir un appareil de compactage à un générateur de vieux pneus, tel qu'un vendeur de pneus. Avant le compactage des pneus, ceux-ci peuvent être marqués au moyen d'un identificateur unique attribué à chaque générateur de pneus. Le marquage des vieux pneus au moyen d'un identificateur unique permet de suivre les pneus jusqu'à leur destination finale. L'appareil de compactage permet d'obtenir une réduction du volume des vieux pneus de manière individuelle, la réduction étant d'au moins 50 % du volume cubique original. Les pneus peuvent être pincés de manière à maintenir le pneu compacté dans la forme compactée et empêchant celui-ci de retrouver sa forme originale. Les vieux pneus compactés peuvent être accumulés à l'intérieur d'une enceinte de recueil de pneus, telle qu'une remorque ou une benne Dumpster. Les pneus recueillis peuvent être transportés vers une station de transfert, une usine de recyclage ou un utilisateur final avec des charges de pneus beaucoup plus importantes.
