Here, the dump takes them for free if they're off the rims. Other popular methods here include throwing them on your burn pile on a cloudy day when nobody will notice the smoke, throwing them in the gully, or throwing them in somebody else's dumpster. I take the small ones (16" and under) to the dump and am saving the big ones for something I haven't figured out yet. Maybe I'll use them for tomato planters or a retaining wall...
But what you asked was about getting them recycled, not just getting rid of them. I don't know who "recycles" them around here. I think one of the main methods of disposing of used tires is to burn them in cement kilns. I don't think anybody recycles them into new tires.
