WASTE TIRE DISPOSAL – Repeals and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding waste tire disposal and recycling.

Idaho's S 1089 replaces outdated waste tire disposal laws with a new comprehensive recycling system. It directly affects retail tire dealers (who pay a recycling fee), recyclers (requiring minimum annual processing volumes), and local governments (responsible for enforcing storage rules). Key provisions include: banning unpermitted storage of over 200 tires (defined as "abandoned" sites), establishing a recycling fee to fund remediation of illegal tire piles (like the 22 identified statewide), creating a dedicated fund for cleanup and enforcement, and requiring annual legislative reports. The bill also sets penalties for violations and defines terms like "beneficial reuse" for tire-derived products.
