Michigan DEQ Announces Completion of Tire Cleanup

11/12/2007

More than 400,000 tires removed from pile.


The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality recently announced that it has completed the removal of more than 400,000 scrap tires at the former G & G Tire Recycling facility in Flint, Mich. The project was conducted through the DEQ’s Scrap Tire Cleanup Grant program.

The cleanup project began in 1999 with the awarding of a DEQ grant. The agency followed with annual grants from 2001 through 2005.

Entech, Inc., a White Pigeon, Mich., scrap tire processor, completed work on the site by removing the final 109,430 scrap tires.
