Over 81 percent of scrap tires are re-used in products such as tire-derived fuel, rubber modified asphalt and other products, according to a report issued by the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA). USTMA is the national trade association for tire manufacturers that produce tires in the U.S.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Scrap Tire Management Program regulates transportation, storage and disposal of scrap tires under Part 169 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. If you are transporting ten or more tires, you are required to provide a manifest to the disposal site that includes information about the quantity of tires you have as well as where they came from for documentation to the MDEQ.
