I've wondered this too, do places re-tread them? recycle them?

Normal people pay the £4 charge at the tyre shop for them to dispose of the tyres and weights though.

A tyre? No. A set yes, and the same for batterys. The local ATS charges for 'enviromental disposal' which is understandable as they have to pay for chucking stuff in landfill now.

Personally, I just chuck old stuff like that behind our hay barn

aaahhhh. at work we have to pay 85 pence per tyre to have them ground down and turned into kiddies playparks

however, we charge £1 per tyre, so 15p per tyre profit

just take an angle grinder to them adam, then put them in your normal bin

Your local council's dump will probably have tyre disposal facilities.

How can places make you pay to dispose of them?
They haven't got much choice if u just leave them there.

I get that it costs them to dispose, but if I just left them at the place and didn't pay they don't have much choice.
