I strip the tires on the bikes I take in. It seems depending on the day of the week or what mood these guys are in at the yards I go to if they will accept tires or not. Anymore I try and do my best to keep all the other junk out of the steel. I won't get crazy with it but tires I take off.

I try and take off most of the heavy plastic, wood, etc..on whatever I can. Makes my load look "cleaner" and I hope down the line it gives me an "edge" in pricing or goodwill...I might be dreaming on that but it's how I look at it anyway.
