More than 1,200 retailers, scrap tire generators, processors and municipal partners adapted rapidly to new procedures and rate structures. The program has extended to include all types of tires and tubes, including off-the-road (OTR) tires, and is designed to ensure that collection and processing service is available to all regions of the province, including areas historically under-serviced.
Scrap tires collected are recycled into crumb fibre and used to produce products such as athletic tracks and non-slip pavers for patios, walkways and playgrounds.
