Waste tire haulers

While some waste tire generators deliver their waste tires to a recycling or disposal facility, many rely on the services of a waste tire hauler, commonly known in the business as a tire "jockey".  Such service providers, i.e., waste tire haulers, may "cull" the tires (removing good tires for resale) before delivering them to a waste tire processor.

DEQ utilizes a voluntary hauler registration system whereby haulers can receive a hauler registration number and certificate, if they satisfactorily complete DEQ's records check. Registered waste tire haulers are asked to utilize DEQ's Waste Tire Certification forms to better track the flow of waste tires from Virginia generators.

Note: DEQ does not endorse any of these businesses nor can it ensure their handling of waste tires is in compliance with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and permits. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that his waste tires are handled properly.
