BACKGROUND
In 1990, the CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT
BOARD
(CIWMB)
enacted
requirements for disposal and storage of
waste and used tires. Beginning July 2003,
CIWMB has turned over a portion of the
program
to
SACRAMENTO
COUNTY
ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT
(EMD). The County is responsible for
identification, investigation, and enforcement
of the waste tire generators, transporters, and
facilities in Sacramento County. In January of
2010, CIWMB was reorganized under the Dept
of Resources Recycling and Recovery, and
began operating under a new name CalRecycle.
EMD is adhering to the laws and regulations
governing waste tires:
• Public Resources Code (Division 30,
Part 3, Chapters 16 and 19)
• California Code of Regulations (Titles
14, Division 7, Part 3)
WHO PARTICIPATES IN THE PROGRAM?
The Waste Tire Program applies to any
person that generates, transports, or accepts
used and waste tires.
A waste tire is a tire that is no longer
mounted on a vehicle and is no longer
suitable for its original purpose due to wear,
damage, or defect.
A used tire is a tire that is no longer
mounted to a vehicle but is still suitable for
use as a vehicle tire.
