| Description: |
This permit is required if you pick up, collect, or transport 5 or more waste tires (other than your own) in Oregon for the purpose of storage, removal to a processor, or disposal. Government entities and solid waste collectors franchised or licensed by local governments are exempt from this permit requirement, as are persons transporting tire chips or tire-derived products to a market. "Waste tire" does not include tires from bicycles, motorcycles, or farm vehicles.
This permit is required even if the waste tires you haul in Oregon are not generated in the State of Oregon. If you store more than 100 waste tires in the State of Oregon, you need to obtain a waste tire storage site permit. You can apply for a combined waste tire carrier/storage site permit using the "Application for Waste Tire Storage Site, Beneficial Use, or Combined Storage/Carrier Permit." |
