Tire Recycling & Disposal Program
GCADA “Recycles” Tire Program
It has come to the attention of your Association that some GCADA members have been serviced by individuals that are picking tires up at no-charge. If someone is picking up your tires for free, they are most likely not a registered hauler and you need to check their licenses and sign off on their paperwork.
The Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers’ Association would like to remind members that U.S. Tire Transportation is the vendor of choice for the pick-up and recycling of all used tires generated by members of the Association. U.S. Tire Transportation will ensure that all used tires generated by GCADA members and picked up by U.S. Tire Transportation are properly recycled, disposed of, or used for beneficial use in accordance with all EPA regulations.
Services and Pricing:
- U.S. Tire Transportation will provide collection service for GCADA members at a cost of $3.25 per passenger and light truck tire
- Services from U.S. Tire Transportation may be on an “On Call” or “Regularly Scheduled Route” basis
- Each service call requires the dealership to have 42 tires to pick up; if the dealership would have less than the required 42 tires, there will be a minimum charge of $65 (this is not a service charge, but a minimum charge per trip)
- U.S. Tire Transportation will not charge a fuel and/or environmental surcharge to members of GCADA for any services rendered
Due to the constantly increasing requirements from the EPA, state and federal governments, to receive these services and pricing, members will be asked to sign a simple Route Service Agreement, reviewed by GCADA. It is necessary for U.S. Tire Transportation to have these agreements in place before hauling and processing used tires.
As always, to ensure the proper recycling of tires with any vendor and eliminating any liability from used tires getting resold or installed onto other cars, dealers should destroy the sidewall of scrap tires either by carefully drilling a hole in the sidewall or cutting the sidewall with a knife.
Should you have any questions about this program or would like to set an appointment up with a representative of U.S. Tire Transportation, please contact Dennis Rose at your Association at 440-746-1500 or via email at drose@gcada.org.
