WINNIPEG, Manitoba (April 4, 2008) — Manitoba Province has begun a new scrap tire management system called that replaces a government-run scrap tire product.
The Tire Stewardship Manitoba non-profit agency created will feature a permanent collection of off-the-road tires from landfills and tire dealer's property this spring. “A significant change under this program is the ability of TSM to support tire recycling through Eco-Fees charged on a broader range of new tires that more accurately reflect province wide collection and processing costs,” said Brett Eckstein, executive director of the program.
