Regarding the Tire Disposal/ Ordinance
Last year Yakima County decided to increase the waste tire fee from $2 dollars a tire to $10
dollars a tire, so it is no surprise if illegal tire dumping has increased.
I have a couple questions Regarding the fee.
Has the revenue from waste tires increased? If so, by how much? Or has it gone down due to
people not paying the $10
What is the increase in revenue being used for?
Are you aware that the department of health already has the authority to come on our property
and inquire about what we do with our waste tires?
Are you aware that the department of ecology Has regulations in place that deal with waste
tires, hauling of waste tires, the amount of waste tires that can be on the premises, and
programs in place to help individuals and municipalities deal with illegal dumping of waste tires?
Are you aware that you can work with the department of ecology to create amnesty programs to
help with the disposal of waste tires?
I feel that these regulations are being pushed on the legal business that deal with tires and we
are burdened down by too many regulations already, and that we the businesses are not the
problem nor are we the answer. Most of us follow rules and love our community and we help
whenever we see a need. In fact, one of the businesses below provided a large container for the
waste tires at their own cost to the last city clean up.
I have spoken to several Tire business in the area and we feel the tire fee increase has
exacerbated the problem and that you want to hold us accountable for their decision. We also
feel that a regulatory license will have no effect because we are not doing illegal dumping, it is
the illegitimate used tire dealers and individuals and no matter what you put in place they will
not follow the rules. We ask that you talk to the county commissioners and come up with a way
we can lower the fees for waste tires and use the regulations that are already in place by the
State of Washington, and utilized the programs that are already in existence and not put any
more burdens on the legitimate businesses in our areas. Sincerely Jeff Baker of Bakers Auto
Repair
