You do not have a pile that anybody will get rich off rather it will cost anywhere from $1 to $4 per tire (costs range from state to state depending on a number of factors ) to process and remove the tires. If you have an estimated 5-10 million, you can do the math. As these sites are very often a prime breeding ground for West Nile infected mosquitoes, I can't imagine tourists will flock to experience that. As for Mr. Robinson's technology that will microwave the tires and make somebody rich this is not new technology. Millions have been spent on similar ventures and, as was recently quoted at a conference I attended, those attempts to develop what may work in a lab into something that works on a large scale production level have been unsuccessful in 60 documented tries. You are one drunk idiot with a gas can away from a serious problem. If you do a little research on those states that have had to deal with the fallout of a significant tire fire it may increase the urgency with which you act.
