Waste Tire Processors
To be beneficially used or recycled, a vehicular tire must first be shredded into pieces. Larger shreds (up to 4" x 10") can be used in Civil Engineering applications whereas small (2" x 2") wire-free shred is needed for fuel applications. Most reuse or recycling applications require small "chips" (½ ") or a powderized form called ground rubber.
Before DEQ's tire program began, there were only 2 processors of Virginia tires, one of which was in Baltimore. Now, there are 11 in Virginia and 6 outside the state that handle Virginia waste tires.
