Waste Tire Enforcement Program
In 1990, the California Legislature enacted comprehensive requirements
for the storage and disposal of waste tires. These requirements
were intended to address potential fire and health risks posed
by the growing number of tire piles in California. As a result
of these statutes, the Integrated Waste Management Board (IWMB)
adopted regulations for the permitting of waste tire facilities. Learn more. |
