Removing Fluid From Tires-Best Way?

Ive got 2 worn out tires from my 140 restoration and wondered if any one would have an idea on the best way to remove the fluid so I can dispose of the tires and junk the rims.
I thought about the tire store but figured I should be able to do it myself.
Any thoughts
As always thanks in advance

I remove the valve core, rotate the tire till the stem is at the bottom and then put air in it and let it blow out.

However, if you are going to junk the whole thing, why not just hit it on the side with the chain saw? :)

Depends on what the fluid is. If is CACL and you have some place you don't want weeds etc growing just air them up then pull the stem out with the stem at the bottom and let it flow. Now if it has anti freeze you would not want to just drain it because that will kill animals.

When I've bought new tires the installer has always transferred the fluid from the old ones to the new as part of the deal.
 
Old's comment about antifreeze is very important. I was not thinking. I lost my favorite beagle because of some unattended antifreeze that I drained in a bucket. very painful for the animal.

Jack it up,roll the valve stem to the top,let the air out,remove the valve stem, attach a short hose to the valve stem,roll the valve stem to the bottom,let the jack down, you can catch most of it in containers. When it quits running adapt the hose to a wet-dry shop vac. Go do something else for a while and the vac will pull most of it out.
 
Randy: As I understand it these tires and rims are no longer on tractor? When I did a set of these 24" tires, I got rim on top of two open barrels, with valve stem pointing into one of the barrels. These were plastic barrels.

Remove the stem with air still in tire, you'll probably loose stem in bottom of barrel. Stick a 2x4 under opposite side of tire from stem. Forget about it for 24 hours, it will drain. You can speed it up by putting stem back ocasionally and adding air.

I save the calcium chloride for dust control on driveway and yard.
