Caption/Description
Tires are one of the biggest disposal problems because they 'float' to the surface no matter how deep they are buried. Engineer Norman Bratou freeze dries them in mass and shatters them with large grinder. They are then made into rubber/asphalt roads, hoses, flower pots and other products.
