You can be fined for compositions made from old tires.

      Using old car tires for any decorative compositions in yards is now prohibited. Homeowners and summer residents are warned: the familiar decorations of adjacent territories made from old tires are now illegal. The manufacture of any decorative elements—flower beds, fences, garden figures, and other compositions—is banned on the territory of Russia. Why was such a strict ban introduced? The fact is that used car tires are classified as waste of hazard class IV. During the process of decay and decomposition, tires release toxic substances that poison the soil and air around them. This is why legislation considers such crafts as unauthorized placement of hazardous waste.

      What punishment awaits

      Responsibility for violations is outlined in Article 8.2 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation. For ordinary citizens, the fine ranges from 2000 to 3000 rubles. If the violation is recorded again, the amount increases to 5000 rubles. Legal entities will have to pay significantly more—the fine can reach 250,000 rubles. It is important to note that the ban applies not only to the use of tires for decorative compositions but also to their burning on properties.

      What to do with old tires

      There is a legal alternative. Used car tires must be taken to specialized collection and recycling points. This will not only save you from fines but also preserve the ecology around your home. Thus, those who love to decorate their yards with tire compositions should consider other, eco-friendly materials for creativity.
