Description
The Waste Tire Inspection Grant Program provides funding to local governmental partners in Colorado to conduct inspections of waste tire facilities, haulers, and grant recipients. The program aims to ensure compliance with state waste tire laws and regulations, identify illegal waste tire sites, and support community education on proper waste tire management. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) provides training, inspection checklists, and educational materials to local partners and helps determine the scope of inspections within each jurisdiction. Local partners are responsible for setting their own inspection schedules, reporting, and conducting outreach activities.
