Tire Recycling

  • In 2019, American Reclamation made the decision to become active in the waste tire recycling business in effort to “close the loop” and create reusable products from our waste tires, such as tire-derived fuel (TDF) and crumb rubber to be used for multiple applications such as rubberized asphalt and infill for artificial grass. We offer standard roll-off container sizes, as well as 53’ trailers to be placed at commercial businesses for proper waste tire disposal. We provide all documentation to CalRecycle utilizing a waste tire manifest to ensure proper reporting requirements are met.
  • In 2012, California Assemble Bill 1647 (AB 1647) was passed which states a person who stores, stockpiles, or accumulates waste tires in violation of the provisions regulating the storage, stockpiling, or accumulation of waste tires to clean up those waste tires and abate the effects of the waste tires or take other necessary remedial actions in the case of threatened pollution or nuisance.
  • This law made it necessary for people to be accountable and created a way to regulate tire generators to recycle their waste tires properly. This also created a need for facilities and haulers like American Reclamation to properly collect and recycle waste tires.
