    I currently work at a tire retread and service shop and I can give an insight of how the chain works from my limited knowledge.



    We charge the customer $2.50 to $10 per tire for a disposal fee, depending on the size. We then load up a 53ft container with then, usually about 300 semi tires per, and have a company come pick up the container at a cost of $700 per pick up.

    The real money is charging the disposal fee, and packing a container up.
