What can you do?
Currently, tires are recovered and recycled at a rate of approximately 85 percent. We are working to ensure that tires remain among the most recovered and recycled consumer products in the U.S. You can help us do this.
When you buy new tires from any Bridgestone Americas retail location, your old tires will be managed for you. We work with numerous tire recycling companies that find many different end uses for your old tires.

Tires naturally lose pressure over time. Failure to keep them inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure can result in stress, early and irregular wear and poor gas mileage. This inattention creates more waste and costs you more money.
Did you know that only 19 percent of drivers properly check their tire inflation pressure? Help us to raise this rate. It will help your tires last longer, save you money and reduce unnecessary waste.

Car and motorcycle batteries both contain a lead-acid compound that is highly toxic and dangerous, if not disposed of properly. The best way to deal with batteries at the end of their useful life is to trade them in when you buy a new battery.
Our teammates at Bridgestone Americas retail locations make it easy for you to recycle your old battery. When you buy a new battery from us, we will ensure that the old one gets recycled into making a new battery.

Used oil can contaminate groundwater and pollute waterways if it is thrown in the trash, poured down a drain or even splashed on the ground. Therefore, it is important to our communities that we all properly dispose of our used oil.
If you change your oil yourself, you can take your used oil to many locations for no charge. These locations include many service stations with repair facilities, many oil change shops and Bridgestone Americas retail locations.
