Tire Enforcement Agency Toolbox
Waste Tire Enforcement Agencies (TEA) perform initial and follow-up inspections for all waste tire generators, haulers, and end-use facilities in their jurisdictions. TEAs are also responsible for conducting surveillance activities and referring noncomplying businesses to CalRecycle.
Inspections. TEAs receiving grant funding are responsible for performing initial and follow-up inspections for all waste tire facilities and sites in their jurisdictions.
Enforcement Tools. TEAs have many resources available to assist with enforcement. CalRecycle works with the California Highway Patrol to aid in enforcement activities.
Grants. CalRecycle offers TEA Grants to cities, counties, and city and county agencies in California.
Complaints. CalRecycle inspectors can refer tire haulers or storage/facilities complaints to the TEAs. The TEAs will investigate and submit complaint outcome information within the specific time frames allowed. If compliance cannot be obtained, the TEAs will refer the complaint case to the CalRecycle inspector in that county for further enforcement.
TEA Resources. Essential resources for TEAs include forms, contacts, databases, tire program-specific information, frequently asked questions, roundtable meeting details, and applicable statutes and regulations.
