TSM is accountable to its stakeholders and the public for the collection, processing and environmentally sound disposal of all scrap tires designated under the regulation.

For every new tire sold a scrap tire will eventually be generated. Rather than taking up space in our landfills and posing a risk to human health and the environment, scrap tires are processed and used in environmentally responsible ways. To manage scrap tires generated in Manitoba, the retailer pays TSM an eco-fee for new tires sold in the province. 100% of the fees collected go towards the operation of the scrap tire recycling program.

Properly managed scrap tires reduce environmental risk and create jobs and economic development in Manitoba. Manitoba’s scrap tire products are sold locally and internationally. Scrap tires can be used to make flooring products for agricultural, recreational and industrial use. They are used for artificial turf fields, rubberized asphalt, blast mats, geo-technical projects and energy recovery.
