What happens to the tires after they arrive at the collection sites?
Maricopa County Solid Waste Management is responsible for maintaining the tires on the collection site as per Arizona Department of Environmental Quality regulations. A contract award occurs after a stringent competitive bidding process. The contractor removes and recycles the waste tires as per the Arizona Waste Tire Disposal Statues. Tires are collected by Crum Rubber Management in Queen Creek. There the tires are safely recycled into crum rubber.
