Does EPA certify tire recyclers?
States are responsible for permitting tire recyclers. Most transporters of scrap tires and storage facilities must be permitted by the states. Most states have requirements for those who are either transporting or storing scrap tires. In most cases, transporters are required by states to maintain records using a manifest system. EPA’s report, State Scrap Tire Programs A Quick Reference Guide (PDF) (53 pp, 262K, About PDF), provides a summary of permitting and recordkeeping requirements. Learn more about state tire laws.
