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.
