Program: TiresTopic: Collection systems , Municipalities
There is no requirement for a municipality to establish a tire collection site. Furthermore, municipalities that collect used tires are exempt from the requirement to register with RPRA as a collector or submit reports.
Although municipalities are not required to register as collectors, used tires from these sites can be used by producers to meet their collection requirements, provided they are picked up by a registered hauler and delivered to a registered processor or retreader.
To ensure tires continue to be picked up, municipalities will need to make sure those sites are included in the collection systems established by tire producers or Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs). Since most producers will work with PROs to establish their collection systems, municipalities should contact a registered PRO. Visit our webpage about PROs for more information.
If you operate collection sites after December 31, 2018 the sites must accept, at a minimum:
- Passenger and light truck tires
- Up to 10 passenger and light truck tires per day from any person
- Tires on rims.
- The site must also be operated and accept tires during normal business hours (i.e., during the hours your site is open to residents).
If you choose not to operate a tire collection site, you can redirect residents to a registered collection site. A full list of registered collection sites is available on RPRA’s website.
Note that a municipality that hauls tires is required to register as a hauler. Should a municipality take the tires to a registered collection site, this does not mean they become a hauler. A hauler must be taking tires to a site for processing, reuse, retreading or disposal.
