Tire Recycling Fees

The tire recycling program operates as a user-pay system. Consumers pay a tire recycling fee (TRF) on every new tire purchased in the province. All fees collected go exclusively towards the operation of the scrap tire recycling program and are used primarily to pay for transporting and recycling Saskatchewan's scrap tires to ensure proper disposal in environmentally responsible ways.

There are over 1,200 retailers who sell tires in Saskatchewan, either as a stand-alone product or as part of new vehicles, farm implements, pieces of equipment, etc. The program requires that retailers collect a TRF on every new tire sold and remit it to the SSTC to cover the costs of the recycling program. When they put new tires on a consumer's vehicle, retailers also hold and store the old tires until they are collected by the programs.

The TRF's (Tire Recycling Fees) vary by tire type in order to adequately compensate for the higher cost of collecting and disposing of the varying tire sizes. The current fee structure can be found in the Tire Recycling Fee Schedule

Legislation

Provincial legislation requires that all retailers in Saskatchewan who sell new tires as part of their business operations must establish a provincially approved “product management program” for the proper handling of their scrap tires or they must enter into an agreement with an entity willing to operate and provide such a program on their behalf. There are no exemptions to this requirement.

The SSTC is the approved product management program in Saskatchewan.

The legislation is maintained and enforced by the provincial government. If you have any questions or concerns about the legislation or the illegal disposal of scrap tires please feel free to call.
