Weld County Waste Tire Clean-up and Recycling Project Grant Application
Background
The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment (WCDPHE) seeks to uphold the
mission of the department by preserving, promoting, and protecting a healthy life and safe
environment for the residents of Weld County. As a common goal, the Environmental Health
Services Division serves this mission by working to minimize negative environmental impacts
such as the illegal storage of waste tires. Piles of illegally stored waste tires provide a
receptacle for standing water, where mosquitoes may lay eggs, increasing their population.
Mosquitoes are a known vector for transmitting the West Nile Virus and other diseases. The
County has documented numerous cases of both human and animal infections.
In 2005 and, again, in 2006, the WCDPHE obtained funding from the Department of Local
Affairs' (DOLA) Waste Tire Cleanup and Processing Grant Program. Weld County residents'
response has been tremendous, far exceeding expectations. During the last two years, 64,674
tires (24,608 tires in 2005 and 40,066 tires in 2006) were collected. This is approximately
23,139 more tires than the originally estimated 41,535 tires we anticipated (again combining
both 2005 and 2006).
Even though the last two years have seen a large number of tires collected and recycled, there
continue to be a number of illegally stored waste tires in Weld County. Therefore, the WCDPHE
is again requesting funding from the Waste Tire Cleanup and Processing Grant Program to
cleanup these additional sites.
Purpose of the Grant
The purpose of this grant is to aid Weld County residents in the cleanup of illegally stored waste
tires at private sites.
Description of the Project
If funded, this project would target those property owners who continue to store waste tires
because they have not been informed of the changing regulation regarding waste tires. The
majority of these residents continue to store tires predominantly because proper disposal
constitutes an immense expense for agricultural workers. As evidenced by the overwhelming
success of the previous collection programs, Weld County residents are ready and willing to
eliminate their waste tires given the proper encouragement and help. Therefore, we propose
running an informational outreach campaign designed to inform all Weld County residents of the
possibility of help with their cleanup through the proposed grant. As a result of this outreach, we
anticipate the identification and need for collection of an additional 35,000 waste tires.
Total Tire Estimates
Applying the previous known ratio of car to truck/tractor tires from last year's (2006) collection,
we anticipate the breakdown of the proposed 35,000 tires will occur as 90%, or 31,429 tires, will
be passenger vehicle tires, 8%, or 2,857 tires, will be truck/tractor tires, 2%, or 714 tires, will be
passenger vehicle tires with rims. Truck/tractor tires greater than 28" or truck/tractor tires with
rims will not be accepted for the proposed grant.
2
Contingent upon the approval of the proposed grant, an assessment of each site will be made
by WCDPHE personnel. Participants will be responsible for the accurate counting of waste tires
on their property. WCDPHE personnel will issue Weld County residents a site specific voucher
(Collection Ticket) each made-out for the explicit number of tires per property to be collected,
during a given specific period of time. Tracking of collected waste tires will be simplified and
easier to control since residents will be allowed to recycle only as many tires as is listed on their
site-specific voucher.
Budget
The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment would use the requested funds
for the recycling of tires from private residences located in Weld County. If awarded funding, we
would continue to use Snowy River Enterprises, the same tire recycling facility that has been
used during our past two tire recycling projects. Snowy River Enterprises was selected, in 2005
and 2006, after a competitive bidding process, and we are assured that they will continue to
implement only approved methods for the re-use and recycling of the waste tires. As well,
Snowy River Enterprises has agreed to honor last year's pricing.
Total recycling costs were arrived at by applying last year's actual cost/unit (see table below).
Requested funds for waste tire recycling are expected to be no less than the amount listed
below. Salary for WCDPHE Environmental Health Service employees and costs for land owner
participation, as well as printing costs for outreach efforts, are included as in-kind match.
Proposed Budget
Disposal/Recycling $50,000.00
Printing (in kind/matching funds) 200.00
Personnel (in kind/matching funds) 6,000.00
Land Owner Participation (in kind/matching funds) 10,400.00
Total Project Cost $66,600.00
Total Requested Funds $50.000.00
Budget for Tires
Item Cost/Unit # of Tires Cost Total
Car tires w/o rims $1.05 31,429 $33,000
Truck/Tractor Tires ≤ 28"w/o rims $5.25 2,857 $1,500
Car tires with rims $2.10 714 $15,000
TOTAL Requested Funds $50,000
