Map where tires are generated
List each facility, site contact, access hours and typical tire types. Include both company-owned locations and any third-party maintenance sites where used tires may accumulate.
Clarify who owns the tires and who authorizes removal. That prevents confusion when a vendor or service shop is involved.
Match pickups to replacement patterns
Review maintenance schedules and historic tire replacement volume. A fleet with a predictable replacement cycle may benefit from regular collections, while project or seasonal operations may need flexible scheduling.
Set a trigger for requesting service, such as a target pile size or a monthly review. The trigger should account for available staging space and route availability.
Close the loop with records
Record each load by location and date, then compare removals with maintenance or purchasing records. This can help identify unusual increases and improve future forecasts.
Keep manifests or other required paperwork with the appropriate site records. Requirements vary by state and shipment; use the applicable agency guidance and ask your provider about closeout documents.
