Doug:

What you can do with them depends on the number and type of tires (truck vs
passenger) and condition.  Recycling companies use different tires or mixes
depending on the end use (energy, civil engineering, higher value products).
You might try JP Routhier in Littleton, or F&B rubber in New Bedford.  I'm
not sure if they take small loads or not, or would know of someone to haul
them there.  If you go to WasteCap of MA's web site, you can search the
recycling services directory by geographic location and material-- they have
several others listed in the Boston area---www.wastecap.org.

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further
