Most tire haulers take tires straight to a landfill. We don't.
The standard disposal model is simple — and expensive: a hauler picks up your tires, drives them to a landfill, and you pay a premium disposal fee per tire. That fee covers the landfill's cost, the hauler's margin, and nothing else.
It's why tire disposal has been unreasonably expensive for decades. The tires just sit in a hole in the ground — no reuse, no recovery, no value.
Fox Tire Recycling found a smarter, cheaper alternative — one where your tires actually go somewhere useful, and you pay significantly less because of it.
Traditional Model
Hauler → Landfill → High disposal fee → Tires sit in the ground forever.
Fox Tire Recycling Model
Collection → Shredding → Civil engineering reuse → Lower cost for you → Zero landfill waste.
From your lot to Nebraska's infrastructure — here's what happens.
A smarter disposal model that turns waste into something valuable.
Tires Are Collected
Tires are collected via our Fox Box drop service or direct pickup across Nebraska. Whether you're a dealership, fleet operator, or tire shop — we come to you.
Tires Are Shredded
Tires are shredded into rubber crumb and tire shred material at our processing facility. Every tire is broken down into reusable material — nothing goes to waste.
Shreds Go Into Infrastructure
Shreds are applied to state-approved civil engineering projects: backfill, water retention systems, base pavement layers, and more — in partnership with our construction affiliates.
Savings Flow Back to You
Because our disposal cost is a fraction of landfill fees, we pass those savings to customers through lower per-tire pricing. Better for your budget. Better for Nebraska.
The State of Nebraska isn't just allowing this — they're helping us do it.
Official Partnership
State of Nebraska — Approved Program
The State of Nebraska has formally approved Fox Tire Recycling's civil engineering program and is actively partnering with us — conducting research, identifying project sites, and advocating for this model as a responsible alternative to landfill disposal.
This is not a minor compliance checkbox. It's a genuine state-level partnership. Fox Tire Recycling is the first company in Nebraska to operate this way.

What tire shreds actually do in the real world.
Processed tire material has proven engineering applications — here's where it goes and why it works.
Backfill in Construction & Grading
Tire shreds serve as lightweight, compressible fill material in construction and grading projects. They reduce settling pressure on weak soils while providing stable structural support.
Water Retention & Stormwater Drainage
Rubber shreds have excellent drainage properties — water passes through them easily, making them ideal for stormwater management systems and retention basins that need to control runoff.
Base Layers Beneath Pavement & Roadways
Tire shreds create stable, insulating base layers under pavement. They resist freeze-thaw cycles better than traditional aggregate — a major advantage in Nebraska's climate.
Embankment & Slope Stabilization
Lightweight tire shred fill reduces lateral pressure on retaining walls and stabilizes slopes and embankments — all while resisting degradation for decades.
Why rubber shreds work so well
Tire shreds are lightweight (about half the weight of soil), extremely durable, resistant to biological degradation, and provide excellent drainage. These properties make them an ideal — and often superior — substitute for traditional fill materials in civil engineering applications.
Disposing of tires responsibly shouldn't cost more. With us, it costs less.
Real numbers. Real impact. A model that's better for Nebraska — and your bottom line.
