11/8/2018 Herb emailed a question about his landfill accepting non-pneumatic skid-loader tires. email response with the following: "Waste tire,” as defined in Iowa Code section 455D.11, means a tire that is no longer suitable for its originally intended purpose due to wear, damage, or defect. This definition shall include a tire mounted on a rim, but not on a vehicle. “Waste tire” does not include a nonpneumatic tire. So...if the tires you sent me pictures of were nonpneumatic, then they don't meet the definition of a "waste tire". The requirement to process tires into pieces no longer than 18" in 567 IAC Chapter 113 refers to waste tires. So, if it is a non-pneumatic tire, it can be landfilled. RYAN YOUNG
