New York Laws
Title 19 - Waste Tire Management and Recycling
27-1911 - Prohibition on Land Burial.


1. No person shall knowingly dispose of waste tires in a landfill
except as provided in subdivision two of this section.

2. No moneys from the waste management and cleanup fund shall be used
to dispose of waste tires in a landfill unless the department has
determined that it is not feasible to convert the waste tires to a
beneficial use. Department-approved beneficial uses of
scrap-tire-derived material for leachate collection systems, or gas
collection systems in the construction or operation of a landfill are
not considered disposal.
