Waste tire inspection grant program | Department of Public Health & Environment

Funding is available for local partners to conduct inspections of waste tire facilities (retail tire shops), waste tire haulers and waste tire grant recipients to ensure waste tire laws and regulations are being followed and to identify illegal waste tire sites. Our goal is to have a local partner for these types of inspections in every county in the state.
