Scrap tires covered by the NB Tire Stewardship Program (TSP)
are those with rim sizes between 8 inches and 24.5 inches. Unless
the customer specifically indicates an intention to keep his
or her old tires for re-use at a later date (ie. snow tires in
good condition for the next winter season), they are retained
by tire retailers after the installation of new units.
Regular collection service for 'scrap' tires is provided to
retail outlets throughout New Brunswick by transport companies
working under the auspices of the TSP. These collected scrap
tires may be stored on the retailers' property for a very short
period of time……using an approved system…. before they are
picked up and transported to the Province's recycling and processing facility.
