I seem to remember reading on some offical website it was safe to burn as there was no toxic chemicals in it anymore. Which is why it soon rots in the ground of course.

Try the HSE website or Environment Agency.

If it soon rots in the ground, it doesn't sound as though the treatment is very effective!

If you were allowed to burn tyres then the tyre fitters would be burning them rather than pay £2 to get them removed.

Nope. That's classed as commercial waste. One of my neighbours was burning tires, the local environment agency told me that householders can burn what they want, providing its not done on a commercial scale, ie. Bringing waste from your business premises to burn

I think you are right as long as you don't emit dark smoke or cause a nuisance to your neighbours.

 

Basically it's difficult to curtails personal rights which have existed for time immemorial, hence H&S at works doesn't apply to householders, tachograph doesn't apply to personal transport etc.

 

Of course it is possible to incinerate tyres cleanly  and without smoke, they burn very hot, Dunlop coal.

Also got to make a law workable, no good making something illegal that is impossible to enforce. Commercial scale tyre burning is easy to enforce, a tyre in the odd garden is a lot harder, probably impossible
