Tyre Tracks was launched by MFE and the MTA on July 1st 2005. Tyre Track is a national system set up to support the responsible management of old tyres, to discourage illegal dumping, and to get better information about where old tyres are going.
It uses an online database, and the 0508 TYRE TRACK (0508 897 387) freephone number, to link disposers of old tyres with transporters and end users. Tyre Track connects tyre dealers, and others who need to dispose of old tyres, with registered tyre transporters and registered disposal points, such as recyclers, processors, landfills, farmers, marinas, and speedways.
Tyre Track is strongly supported by the Ministry for the Environment. The Imported Motor Vehicle Dealers Association, the Motor Industry Association local and regional councils and the Automobile Association are among the organisations that have worked to set up Tyre Track.
Tyre Track will be monitoring tyre deliveries to make sure they go to the right place. Dealers and the public will have confidence that their old tyres are being managed responsibly.
Please check out the site Tyretrack and get an idea of how it works. Please if you have any large amounts of tyres use this system.
