SCRAP TIRE DISPOSAL AND USED TIRES INDUSTRY SEES MEGA FIRMS AQUIRING THE LITTLE GUYS IN TRUE WAYNE HUIZENGA STYLE

SCRAP TIRE DISPOSAL AND USED TIRES INDUSTRY SEES MEGA FIRMS AQUIRING THE LITTLE GUYS IN TRUE WAYNE HUIZENGA STYLE
Not overnight but it seems like it.The scrap tire disposal and Used Tire industry seem to have a "Buy Out" Hungry group of Heavy Hitters.
The industry which was always fragmented and consisted of hundreds if not thousands of independent tire collectors and processors had it's big players Lakin Tire, Lakin General, Emmanuel Tire, Casings Inc amongst others.With the rapid expansion by Liberty Tire and the entry of LKQ corp recently the industry has seen one player Liberty Tire gobble up many many tire recyclers and tire collectors including some of the aforementioned Big Players forming a network of outlets recycling about one third of Americas scrap tires over 100 Million per year.
What will these takeovers mean in the future to the tire industry as a whole?? Will there be one giant amongst all of the old independents ?
Is this the best thing to keep moving forward with recycling of Americas discarded tires a lot of progress has been made in the last twenty years to rid America of illegal tire dump sites and assure for proper tire disposal.
What will become of tipping fees if anyone company has too much influence?
What will happen to the price of crumb rubber,shredded material and used tires if any one company controls the marker??????
PS. Usedtires.com a great piece of intellectual property
A domain with a lot traffic can be yours as well for the right price......;.

Terry Scott Hess, 48, was sentenced to seven years for dumping of tires and for burglaries at tire stores.

Terry Scott Hess boasted to a Franklin County judge last week that he has been in the tire business for 22 years.

There was just one problem with that career: Hess wasn't licensed to haul or dispose of the scrap tires that he dumped throughout the county.

"He's one of the most experienced illegal haulers that we know of," said Assistant County Prosecutor Heather Robinson of the Environmental Crimes Task Force of Central Ohio.

The career will cost Hess, 48, seven years in prison. Common Pleas Judge David W. Fais sentenced him to six years for open dumping and illegal transportation of tires, and one year for burglaries at two tire stores.

He was caught hauling or dumping tires fives times, beginning shortly after he was released from prison in September 2008 on a conviction for receiving stolen property. Surveillance cameras twice captured him dumping tires behind an abandoned car dealership on Morse Road.

Hess, of 2149 Aberdeen Ave.on the North Side, isn't alone in the illegal scrap-tire business. Three other central Ohioans were indicted last week on charges of illegal transportation of tires.

They are Terry Hess' brother, Rickey L. Hess, 52, of Utica; Stephen A. Green, 59, of 742 Hines Rd., Gahanna; and Rodney Hall, 54, of 173 E. Hinman Ave. on Columbus' South Side, who told investigators that Terry Hess trained him.

The charges are part of an increased focus by the task force on scrap-tire dumping, Robinson said. Five defendants were convicted of illegal dumping or hauling tires in Franklin County in 2009.

"It's a public-health issue," she said. "Discarded tires are a perfect incubator for mosquitoes."

In Columbus alone, crews cleaned up 621 tons of illegally dumped tires in 2009, said John Remy, spokesman for the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio. That equals roughly 62,000 passenger tires, he said.

The cost to taxpayers for the disposal of those tires: about $90,000.

But that was down from disposal fees of $114,700 in 2007 and $105,300 in 2008.

"We believe that by getting these people off the streets, we're cutting into the number of tires being dumped illegally," Remy said.

The authority funds the task force, which was created 16 years ago. In addition to Robinson, it includes two Franklin County deputies and representatives from the Columbus Refuse Division and the Franklin County Health Department.

Disreputable used-tire dealers cut costs by relying on unlicensed haulers to pick up their junk tires, Robinson said. Some of the tires are sold to other used-tire dealers and the rest are dumped illegally.

Rickey Hess has a used-tire shop in Utica, investigators said. He was arrested for making several trips to Columbus to dump his junk tires behind a tire dealership on N. Hamilton Road under the cover of darkness. The task force thinks Rickey Hess dumped 150 to 200 used tires behind the store, hoping its licensed hauler would take them away.

Green was stopped by task-force investigators as he illegally hauled tires on Granville Street in Gahanna.

And deputies said Hall was captured by surveillance cameras as he dumped tires behind an apartment complex on Ferris Road, and was caught by Franklin Township police while illegally hauling tires.

"If we catch them hauling, we prevent the dumping," Robinson said.

She thinks the task force's crackdown is getting the attention of lawbreakers.

"Most of these individuals know each other," she said. "I know they share information about our unit's tactics. When we arrest someone, they'll say, 'I know you caught so-and-so.' They're following our enforcement efforts."

Residents can report illegal dumping 24 hours a day at www.nailadumper.com or by calling 614-871-5322.

DON'T TREAD ON US

What happens to your old tires?

At the end of 2007, the U.S. generated approximately 290 million scrap tires. Historically, these scrap tires took up space in landfills or provided breeding grounds for mosquitoes and rodents when stockpiled or illegally dumped. Fortunately, markets now exist for 80.4% of these scrap tires up from 17% in 1990. These markets, both recycling and beneficial use, continue to grow. The remaining scrap tires are still stockpiled or put in a landfill. However, in 2007 markets for scrap tires were consuming 233 million, or 80.4 %, of the 290 million annually generated scrap tires. Aside from selling Quality Used Tires worldwide, the highest form of Tire Recycling, Usedtires.com processes millions of scrap tires for Tire Derived Fuel.

* 130 million (44.7%) are used as Tire Derived Fuel.
* 56 million (19.4%) are recycled or used in civil engineering projects.
* About 27 million scrap tires (9.3%) are estimated to be disposed of in landfills or mono-fills.
* 18 million (7.8%) are converted into ground rubber and recycled into products.
* Another 16.5 million scrap (7.7%) tires are retreaded. After any retreading has been performed, 290 million scrap tires are generated.
* 12 million (4.3%) are converted into ground rubber and used in rubber-modified asphalt.
* 9 million (3.1%) are exported as used tires.
* 6.5 million (2.0 %) are recycled into cut/stamped/punched products.
* 3 million (1.7%) are used in agricultural and miscellaneous uses

Many used tires are exported to foreign countries to be reused, or as retreads, especially in countries with growing populations of automobile drivers such as Brazil, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico. Mexico According to Mexico's National Association of Tire Distributors, as many as 20% of tires sold in Mexico are imported as used tires from the US and then retreaded for reuse. Some foreign countries also import tires to be shredded and used as crumb rubber, or to be used as fuel.

FLORIDAS PROPOSED TIRE AGEING BILL 501.94 fs

Wednesday, February 24, 2010
FLORIDAS PROPOSED TIRE AGEING BILL 501.94 fs
Usedtires.com the internets Leader in Used Tires for sale Opposes Bill 501.94FS
As a twenty nine year resident of Florida and a veteran of the tire indusrty for over twenty five years.
I have to express my opinion on the proposed bill Maybe Florida Lawmakers would better serve the motoring public by reinstating auto inspections! I hope all from the Tire Industry as well as Used Tire resellers and Tire Recyclers will be invited to speak at Public hearings
Tires are not wine they do not get better with age, but they are not Milk either and will not spoil on date certain!
To cause a panic in the consumer who will insist on the most recently made Tire which is not always the Safest.
This bill also will potentially set back recent efforts made in the Tire recycling industry as well as it may run afoul of the US Constitutions Dormant Commerce Clause
Tire safety is important! No one wants to sell Dangerous Product but the evidence of tire aging is not concrete there are many factors
Where was the Tire made?
By who was the Tire made?
How was the Tire stored?
Where was the tire stored?
If used where was it in use By who?
Senator Garcia Please consult with all sides on this proposed Bill before Florida enacts a law that it may not need.
Sincerely
Howard Levy
