Overview

History
Waste Tire Fund and Programs
The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) imposes a fee on the sale of motor vehicle tires.
This fee is known as the waste tire fee and sales of tires themselves and tires on new vehicles
are subject to the fee (A.R.S. § 44-1302). The monies from this fee are collected into the waste
tire fund which is administered by ADOR. The waste tire fund is apportioned and paid to
ADEQ for the Solid Waste Fee fund, tire cleanup expenses and counties for county waste tire
programs (A.R.S. § 44.1305).
ADEQ's Regulation of Air Quality
ADEQ enforces the quality of environmental conditions through regulating air quality, waste
programs and water quality. Used and waste tire facility rules are enforced by ADEQ's Waste
Tire Compliance/Enforcement Program, which investiga tes complaints and enforces
compliance (ADEQ).
