Overview:

The Colorado General Assembly passed legislation in 1998 (SB98-198), C.R.S. 24-32-114 (1) (b) (I) concerning tire recycling and re-use programs. Specifically, the legislation provides incentives for state agencies and local governments to purchase products made from recycled or reused waste tire material in their public projects.

The legislation authorizes that funds be made available to counties, municipalities, special districts (including school districts), and state agencies, as a financial incentive to purchase products that contain recycled or reused Colorado waste tires.
