Most states have developed regulations to manage tire stockpiles and processing operations. A number of states have also addressed tire haulers in their regulations (12). These regulations are described below. 

For many years, there was little concern about waste. For waste from home, people burned it, buried it, fed it to animals and birds, or left it for a garbage hauler and forgot it. For industrial production, engineers and managers often divided items into product and by-product. In some cases, a producer could find a buyer for some of its by-products. In many cases, by-products were simply waste. In those times, there was little regulation about what people got rid of, how they handled it or where they sent it. Some municipalities had waste collection services and burned combustible materials in incinerators. In other cases, they buried or dumped waste.
