ITGI - you were talking about all those bad tires, check this news today.

DALLAS, Sep 13, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Integrated Technology Group, Inc.,
(OTCBB:ITGI) announces its scrap tire division, SafeTire Disposal Corp., has
entered into an Agreement with the Arlington Texas Firestone distribution center
to assist them in proper disposal of the recalled tires they receive.

SafeTire began receiving tires from the distribution center August 28, 2000.
Firestone's intent is to ensure that all recalled tires are properly destroyed
and recycled in the best environmental manner possible. Firestone (Nasdaq:BRDCF)
selected SafeTire due to their ability to handle the anticipated volume they
expect to receive.

Firestone requires assurance that none of the recalled tires have any possible
way to be sorted and resold in the used tire marketplace. SafeTire has a no-sort
policy where all tires entering the facility are shredded. Another goal for
Firestone is to direct these tires towards an environmentally beneficial end use
and prevent landfilling of these tires when possible. SafeTire can provide the
necessary end use markets to consume the volume of tires they receive and
achieve the goals set by Firestone.

"We will assist Firestone any way we can so they will not have a disposal
problem for these tires in this region of the country," stated Scott Holden, CEO
of ITGI. "We anticipate receiving up to an average of 4000 tires per day from
the distribution center. Our facilities are designed to process up to 2000 tires
per hour so even if that anticipated volume increases, we will have no problem
keeping with the flow of tires. We are also working with the majority of Ford
dealerships in Texas and Oklahoma collecting the tires they are exchanging.
Where we are most fortunate is that we have developed enough end use markets to
consume the volume of tires we expect to receive."

SafeTire Disposal Corp. operates scrap tire processing facilities in Oklahoma
and Texas.
