STOCKPILES OF OLD TIRES PRESENT SERIOUS HEALTH AND SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL PROBLEMS:
-
As potential health risks, used tire stockpiles can be havens in which pests reside and mosquitoes breed, they are a potential fire hazard, and they can contaminate surface water run-off.
-
By Texas law, whole tires are banned from landfills.
-
Used tires disposed in landfills will not decompose for many years and will tend to disrupt landfill covers by rising to the surface.
