More than 44 million worn or damaged
tires were replaced during 2008 in California. Used tires can be brought to
San Joaquin County facilities for proper disposal. State law allows
for
no more than 9 tires to be transported without a waste tire hauling
permit and manifest.
In San Joaquin County and throughout the
State of California, recycling used tires keeps a valuable resource out of
our landfills. All tires collected at County facilities are sent to a
certified tire recycler here in California. The recycler grinds the
rubber, preparing it to be made into a variety of products, including rubber
bark for gardens and playgrounds, city streets and sidewalks, and floor
mats.
