These folks take old tires and turn them into recycled athletic flooring, playground surfacing, commercial flooring, etc.
Bundle your bike tires 10 per bundle ( I usually use an old inner tube the bundle them, no wire ties please ), pay a recycling fee and throw them onto the big pile out back. The fee is the one downside to this (around 2-3 bucks per bundle, I forget) and keeping away from the great big front end loaders moving piles of big old tires around in order to throw your wee little bundle onto the pile.
There used to be other places that you could send tires too (Splaff flops was such a site) But they are not accepting anymore. If someone knows of a better place to recycle tires, I’m also open to suggestions.

What about bike tubes, is there a place that recycles bike tubes?
ask around at Specialized bike dealers. I know down in the bay area, ca specialized is collecting tires to mulch and turn into mats for their stores. So far, it’s a free drop off.
Kay,
Alchemy Goods in Seattle, WA recycles mountain and hybrid size inner tubes. They make a messenger bag out of the reused tubes.
They will even pay for the shipping if you have a box of at least 25 lbs.

Since this message is a year old, I called RB Recycling before taking some tires there. They do still take bike tires. The cost is ten cents a tire. The person I spoke with was unclear about tubes, but thought they took them but didn’t charge as much. The tire lot is at the corner of Kirby and Argyle, a long block east of the address shown in this post.
Is there are place to recycle bike tires in Wisconsin? I found a place online for the tubes(flat-bags.com), but would like to hear of any in Wisconsin also. We are in the central part of the state.
$10 per tire is ridiculous! I just paid $10 for a pair of used tires – why would I pay twice as much to recycle the old ones. Does anyone have ideas for other use/reuse for old tires? Aside from that, it would seem the BTA should be advocating for a more sensible solution. Perhaps OSD could help find a solution?
