Stockpiles of old tires present serious health and solid waste disposal problems:

As potential health risks, used tire stockpiles can be havens in which pests reside and mosquitoes breed. Tires are a potential fire hazard, and can contaminate surface water run-off.
By Texas law, whole tires are banned from landfills.
Used tires disposed in landfills will not decompose for many years and will tend to disrupt landfill covers by rising to the surface.
