What fee replaced the $2.00 disposal charge of tires?

The $2.00 disposal charge for tires was replaced with a fee of $4.00. This adjustment is typically made to ensure that disposal practices are adequately funded and that the costs associated with recycling and managing tire waste are properly covered. The increase to $4.00 reflects the need to address rising costs in waste management, improve recycling processes, and ensure environmental compliance. Implementing a higher fee can also aim to discourage illegal dumping of tires and incentivize proper disposal methods, which ultimately contributes to environmental sustainability and public health.
