Jackson has a tire dumping problem. Nobody's solving it at the ground level.

Mississippi has a landfill tire ban. Every waste tire must go through an authorized processor. But between the dump site and the processing facility, there's a gap. Big national recyclers collect from retailers and dealers. They don't show up to vacant lots, creek beds, and roadsides. TreadCycle fills that gap.

Fire Risk

Tire fires are nearly impossible to extinguish and release toxic black smoke, heavy metals, and oil runoff into soil and waterways.

Disease Vectors

Stagnant water in tire casings creates breeding habitat for mosquitoes carrying Zika, West Nile, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

Property Blight

Illegal tire dumps depress surrounding property values and deter economic development in already underserved neighborhoods.

How TreadCycle works

01

Identify & Retrieve

We locate abandoned tire sites through municipal partnerships, resident reports, and MDEQ enforcement referrals. Our crews retrieve tires from dump sites, vacant lots, and roadsides.

02

Transport & Document

Every load is manifested and tracked per MDEQ requirements. Full chain of custody from pickup to processing facility. No tire falls through the cracks.

03

Process & Reclaim

Tires are delivered to authorized processors like MS Tire Recycling. They become tire-derived fuel, crumb rubber, playground mulch, and rubberized asphalt. 100% repurposed.

Multiple revenue streams

TreadCycle isn't just a hauling company. It's a hub connecting municipalities, processors, and property owners.

Turning Jackson's tire problem into Jackson's recycling economy.

Every tire we pull off a vacant lot becomes fuel, rubber mulch, or road material. That's not waste management. That's building a circular economy for Mississippi.
