ABSTRACT:
Discarded rubber automotive tires are processed into bales for disposal and use as landfill, fish habitats and other purposes by compressing a stack of such tires endwise into a compact annular bale and then securing the bale with ties at circumferentially spaced locations thereon. Preferably during compression of the stack, it is slit lengthwise from end to end at multiple circumferential locations between the wires. The resulting slits extend inwardly from the outer toward the inner periphery of the bale but terminate short of the inner tire bead and rim to permit the escape of air and water from the annular interior spaces of the tires and yet maintain the integrity of the bale. The compressed, tied and slit baled product is particularly useful in forming artifical reefs in bodies of water for use as fish habitats because of its lack of buoyancy and resulting ease and accuracy of placement. By tying the bale with one non-corrodible tie and cutting the others or permitting such others to corrode apart when in place, the baled tires fan out to form a particularly effective fish habitat.
