For every new tire sold a scrap tire will
eventually be generated. Rather than taking up space in our landfills and
posing a risk to human health and the environment, scrap tires are processed
and used in environmentally responsible ways. To manage scrap tires
generated in Manitoba, the retailer pays Tire Stewardship Manitoba a
steward-fee for new tires sold in the province. 100% of fees collected go
towards the operation of the scrap tire recycling program.
Scrap tires can be used to make flooring products
for agricultural, recreational, and industrial use. They are used for
artificial turf fields, rubberized asphalt, blast mats, geo-technical projects,
energy recovery and other applications.
You can recycle your used tires (rims must be
removed) by taking them to the Rossburn Waste Grounds (landfill), and placing
them in the tire area where they are stored until picked up.
