Waste Tires

The Solid Waste Division within Placer County Environmental Health is responsible for administering our Waste Tire Program. It is a program that consistently strives to contend with the over 40 million waste tires generated per year in California.

They are a favorable location in which to harbor pests and environmental vectors such as Mosquitoes. In addition, tire fires remain a distinct hazard which release dangerous toxic pollutants into the air, water, and soil.

The Placer County's Waste Tire Program receives and annual enforcement grant from the State of California, California Integrated Waste Management Board, (CIWMB). With the funding, we conduct inspection, enforcement, and education activities. It is our mission to provide accessible information in which to conduct proper waste tire management operations. It remains a top priority within our program to educate and assist members of the public in effective and compliant waste tire management, towards proper transport, storage, and disposal of waste tires.
