CO Code § 30-20-1401 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 30 - Government - County|Article 20 - Public Improvements|Part 14 - Strategies for Waste Tires|§ 30-20-1401. Legislative Declaration - Rules - Enforcement - Recyclable Material

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that, in order to protect the environment and the public health, there is a special need to address problems created by the disposal of waste tires and the lack of recycling and beneficial use of waste tires. It is the policy of this state to pursue proposals for recycling and other beneficial use of waste tires in lieu of storage or landfill disposal, and, in addition, it is the intent of the general assembly in adopting this part 14 to encourage the development of techniques for resource recovery, recycling, and reuse of waste tires and to provide for the management of waste tires.    By May 31, 2015, the commission shall promulgate rules for the implementation and enforcement of this part 14. Until the commission promulgates rules to implement and enforce this part 14, the commission's rules in effect on July 1, 2014, governing waste tires continue to apply to the extent that they do not conflict with this part 14.    The department shall enforce this part 14 through its enforcement authorities, including those specified in sections 30-20-113 and 30-20-114.    After tires are used for their original intended purpose, they must be used beneficially, recycled, or reused; except that, if authorized by section 30-20-1414 (1)(b), they may be disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility. Because they can be reused, remanufactured, reclaimed, or recycled, waste tires are a recyclable material as defined in section 30-20-101 (4). As recyclable materials, waste tires must be collected, managed, and transported in accordance with the manifest system required by section 30-20-1417 (2) and recycled into tire-derived product, thereby being transformed from a recyclable material into a new product. The department shall consider tires that have been collected under a tire collection program registered pursuant to section 30-20-1411 to have been managed under an approved established tire collection program for purposes of the federal commercial industrial solid waste incinerator rules, 40 CFR part 60 subparts CCCC and DDDD.

The commission shall set the fee in an amount that is sufficient to:   Offset the department's direct and indirect costs of implementing this part 14, which costs must not exceed the equivalent of fifty cents for each new tire sold; and    Cover the rebate program described in section 30-20-1405.       The receipt from the retailer to the customer for every new tire purchased must contain the following statement in the largest bold-faced type capable based on point-of-sale software and on existing invoice printers, not to exceed fifteen points: ”Section 30-20-1403, Colorado Revised Statutes, requires retailers to collect a waste tire fee set by the solid and hazardous waste commission on the sale of each new motor vehicle tire and each new trailer tire.“       The retailer shall submit to the department by the twentieth day of each month all fees collected pursuant to this section in the preceding month together with any report required by the department. The department shall transmit the fees to the state treasurer, who shall credit them in accordance with subsection (2) of this section or as specified in rules promulgated by the commission.         From January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2025, the state treasurer shall distribute the revenue from the fee assessed in subsection (1) of this section as follows:   The portion of the fee collected to offset the costs described in subsection (1)(a)(III)(A) of this section to the waste tire administration, enforcement, market development, and cleanup fund created in section 30-20-1404; and    The portion of the fee collected to cover the costs described in subsection (1)(a)(III)(B) of this section to the end users fund created in section 30-20-1405.
