The Hudson, Colorado Tire Dump, one of the worlds largest, is now owned by Magnum D’Or Resources Inc., a rubber recycling company.
Colorado is home to 1/3 of all whole waste tires in the USA, consequently Magnum now owns 100% of one of the worlds largest tire landfills, and perhaps currently the largest in the USA.
Magnum’s President and CEO Joseph Glusic stated, “This is a great day for Magnum and the State of Colorado. We plan on making this site a state of the art facility that should be a model for the rest of the country, if not the world, to demonstrate the ability to recycle waste products into useful and viable products that actually enhance people’s lives. I am extremely excited about this acquisition which now guarantees the raw supply needs for our company for the foreseeable future. This is only the tip of the iceberg of things to come. Magnum is positioned to be a World Leader Rubber Recycler having next generation rubber recycling solutions for custom compounds, retread compounds, processing aids, advanced state-of-the-art equipment, and reactivated ambient/cryogenic rubber powders for the global market.”
Magnum uses a proprietary “GREEN’ technology that “provides a unique solution to all of the challenges in the disposal of stockpiles of scrap tires and rubber scrap,” company officials say.

I’ve been wondering when it would start, that it would become economically viable for companies to start taking things back out of landfills. It makes sense that single-type landfills are the first to make sense. I just hope the processing and remanufacturing is really done in an environmentally benign way.
