Scrap Tires in Region 7
All states in Region 7 ban whole tires from disposal in landfills and
have enacted rules and regulations to ensure the proper management of
scrap tires. The Iowa Waste Tire End Users Incentives Program provides
up to $10 per ton to end users of processed waste tire products to increase
end uses/markets for processed waste tire materials including the purchase
of tire derived fuel, crumb rubber, or shredded tires for civil engineering
uses. Nebraska and Missouri also provide grants to users of scrap tires
and tire derived products. The state of Kansas provides funds for the
development of waste tire recycling markets.
