The states in Region 10 have enacted regulations designed to prevent
problematic storage and disposal of tires. Oregon and Washington have
established disposal laws that regulate how tires are collected and stored.
Oregon's regulations are also designed to encourage alternatives to disposal.
In 2003, Idaho strengthened its Waste Tire Act by adding new provisions
to allow the state, counties, and cities to regulate waste tire storage
and disposal sites, and find additional methods for recycling/reusing
tires. Alaska has no scrap tire legislation, however, the Alaskan Department
of Transportation was the first in the United States to field test rubberized
asphalt. More information on state programs.
