Stockpiles

Stockpiling of tires is generally not permitted, but there is no specific regulation prohibiting this action. The SSTC does not promote any stockpiling by retailers in landfills or on private property.

In Saskatchewan, over 280 municipalities banned the disposal or stockpiling of scrap tires at landfill sites. Under the SSTC Landfill phase, pre-program tires are removed from these registered sites with surplus tire recycling levies.

Private stockpiles will be addressed under the program upon completion of the landfill component.
