Whatever happened to the Tire Shark for Tire Recycling?

Back in 2006, Oakleaf my esteemed competitor, came out with a cool product called the Tire Shark. It compacted tires and then nailed them so they’d stay squished. Saved a lot of space – as you know air in a dumpster or roll off costs you money and makes your waste disposal company money.

Anyway, I can’t find any mention of Tire Shark on the Oakleaf web site, except for a product launch press release. I found an expired domain name, “thetireshark.com,” but so sign of the beast.

Can anyone tell me, is it still around?

All I can find are these tire sharks:

    Tire Shark trialled here in the UK with Europe’s biggest tyre retailer group,Kwik- Fit/Speedy.

    Trial was not adopted for reasons best known only to Fred Devlin and Kwik-Fit.

    I’m working on an alternative principle,Compact-a-Tyre.The aim is to reduce the volumes carried
    on collection vehicles……no steel pins,no balong wires,NO METAL!!!!
