i am building a small paintball field on my property for private use and need material to make bunkers. i would like to use scrap tires- can anyone tell me if i can go to the landfill and buy/take scrap tires off the pile?
if you have other suggestions for bunkers that would be great too thanks
(low budget fyi)

Find any ditch in the area and you will get more than enough scrap tires.

big sign @ landfill..."no scavaging". Call local tire dealers.

Try asking at a tire shop. They should have tons of tires that they have to pay to have hauled off.

that doesnt make sense tho- if the state has to dispose of the scrap tires, which costs them money, why not let people take them?
and would i have to pay the tire dealers to take their scrap tires?

Because they wind up in the ditches and streams and everywhere except where they will be disposed of correctly. That cost MORE money to do an environment cleanup.

Make sure you drill some holes in the tires when you set up the field. :skeeters:
