Waste Tire Recycling Incentives for Purchasing
and Using Recycled Waste Tire Products in Public Projects

Important Funding Announcement

Executive Order D 017 09 (page 10, item 8.)

On August 18, 2009, Governor Bill Ritter announced a budget balancing plan to close a $318 million shortfall in the current 2009-10 state budget. As part of this plan, $2.7 million has been eliminated from the Waste Tire Program through the remainder of this fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

As a result, the Waste Tire Clean-up, Recycling Incentives, and End-User/Processor Programs have been suspended until future revenues become available. At this time, we do not know exactly when applications for these programs will be accepted; however, we will post information on this website as soon as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact Tamra Hooper, Program Manager, at 303-866-6398. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,
Susan E. Kirkpatrick
Executive Director

Overview:

The Colorado General Assembly passed legislation in 1998 (SB98-198), C.R.S. 24-32-114 (1) (b) (I) concerning tire recycling and re-use programs. Specifically, the legislation provides incentives for state agencies and local governments to purchase products made from recycled or reused waste tire material in their public projects.

The legislation authorizes that funds be made available to counties, municipalities, special districts (including school districts), and state agencies, as a financial incentive to purchase products that contain recycled or reused Colorado waste tires.
