Once again taking a look at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, this week taking a closer look at the Division of Materials and Waste Management.
I started my search with a Google search yet again for the Ohio EPA, and I selected the first link title Ohio EPA home. I hovered over the Divisions and Offices tab and rolled over to the top right corner and selected the link titled Materials and Waste Management. The Division is responsible for ensuring proper disposal of both hazardous and non hazardous waste following the appropriate regulations as set by the state of Ohio.
Once on the home page for the Division, I scrolled down to see several tabs at the bottom. I selected the Programs tab, third from the left, and from there I chose the non hazardous waste option. From there a display of 19 different specified options are displayed. This list includes topics such as composting, orphaned landfills, recycling, and litter prevention. I selected the link titled Scrap Tires.
The Division of Materials and Waste Management is responsible for the regulation of scrap tires. A scrap tire can be of any size that is no longer in use. All storage and disposal facilities or locations must be exclusively registered with the Ohio EPA, including the transportation of anymore than ten tires. The recovery of scrap tires is always preferred to the disposal of them.
At the bottom of that informational page was a list of resources that the EPA used to collect their information. These tabs are related to each specified subject, for instance the bottom of the Scrap Tires page hosts a link to Beneficial Use of Scrap Tires which is a pdf document.
While there are many ideas for re use of the Scrap Tires the Ohio EPA uses their website as a platform to educate the citizens of Ohio on proper accordance to the regulations, monitoring number and weight of tires used and the approval system for larger projects.
