There is no need to specifically mention how important tires are to a vehicle. When the wheel was invented, people probably never imagined that it would be so useful in today's times. Today, vehicles are moving around the world because of that wheel. But there is a city in the world..it is also called the tire graveyard. Let's learn about it in detail today. A city in the world has become popular with its natural gas and oil reserves. But it is also recognized in the world for another reason. It is called the tire graveyard. The Sulaibia Tire Graveyard is located in the north of Kuwait. All the useless tires in the country were dumped there. Tires have been brought there for almost 20 years. Due to this, there were three major fire accidents at this place between 2012 and 2020.
According to a report by the Times of India, lakhs of tires are changed in kuwait every year. That is why they are piled up at this place. Also, a large number of tires come here from all over the world. According to a report, there is a pile of more than six crore tires in Kuwait. It is considered the largest tire dumping site in the world. Here, large mountains of tires can be seen in Al-Sulaibiya and Al-Jahr. Due to improper disposal of tires, they are left in the open.
There is no tire recycling system in Kuwait. But in some countries, tires are recycled and made into new materials. However, this system is not developed in Kuwait. Since the government is not strict about the proper disposal of tires, many people are dumping them in the desert. The air there is becoming toxic due to burning old tires. That is why it is also called hell on earth.
