Texas Municipal Solid Waste Scrap Tire Facility Checklist

Proper handling of scrap tires can help for recovering rubber for recycling and protecting environmental quality by ensuring proper disposal. Tire scraps and tire parts often end up at recycling centers or landfill sites. The Texas Municipal Solid Waste Scrap Tire Facility Checklist app reviews state established rules and regulations set by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for scrap tires and tire parts that are transported to or held at a facility for waste tire disposal. Important guiding questions include: If the registration has been suspended or revoked, has the facility stopped accepting or processing used or scrap tires or tire pieces? Is a copy of the commission registration notice maintained at the designated place of business? Are vehicles and equipment operated to prevent nuisances or disturbances to adjacent landowners? Has the site representative completed the appropriate section of the manifests for accepted deliveries of used or scrap tires or tire pieces and has the completed top original of the five-part manifest been returned to the generator within 60 days of the date of collection?
