Dumping Ground

While looking for car tyres, I saw this pile of used tyres being sold at incredibly low prices. They are as low as $15 a piece. Some are clearly worn out, imported from neighbouring countries without any set standard, to fill a growing niche market for people who cannot afford to buy new. Not only do they pose unknown but serious danger to the new users, but also create an unhealthy industry for the country - dumping ground for used material from 1st World countries.

These are not the only things. One could get used car parts, engines and even car body chasis. And then there is another iniquitous industry - the widespread sale of non-genuine car parts which are almost difficult to differentiate from the original parts. Somebody need to stand up on this.
