Texas Municipal Solid Waste Scrap Tire Generator Checklist

In addition to traditional solid waste management facilities such as transfer stations and landfills, businesses such as tire retailers, automotive dismantlers, fleet operators, wholesalers, manufacturers, and recappers or retreaders must register with the TCEQ as generators if on-site storage of waste tires exceeds certain thresholds. Solid waste landfills and other solid waste sites that process scrap tires can utilize the Texas Municipal Solid Waste Scrap Tire Generator Checklist app to stay in compliance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The checklist offers guiding questions on rules and regulations, such as: Has a registration number been obtained if a generator is storing more than 500 tires? Has the generator ensured that scrap tires or scrap tire pieces have been transported by a registered transporter (a tire hauler) to an authorized facility? Have good used tires intended for sale to the consumer been sorted, marked, classified, and arranged in an organized manner? The app is useful for inspectors and facility managers to conduct inspections. Within the app, users can easily provide answers to relevant questions, list any violations, and provide additional feedback to ensure that their tire collection operation is compliant and operating successfully.
