The guidebook includes case studies highlighting success stories. It can be found at www.epa.gov/reg5rcra/wptdiv/solidwaste/tires/guidance <http://www.epa.gov/reg5rcra/wptdiv/solidwaste/tires/guidance>.
In addition to the guidebook, many resources are available to those tackling a scrap tire problem, including presentations from several scrap tire forums, information on technical issues concerning scrap tires, and end-use markets.
