Yes, they can and I looked into scrapping tires. There are large piles of tires around here and I was going to cash in. The problems are that the closest shredding plant is in (I think it was) Tennessee. The tires take up a lot of room for transport and they're worth so little per ton that a 72 foot trailer could not hold enough tires to even cover fuel.
