Turn your tires
into something
beautiful.
Manitobans recycle over 2 million tires every year, protecting our land for generations.
Recycling your tires reduces Manitoba’s carbon footprint protecting our air, water, and land for future generations.
Cleaner air means healthier lives. Tire recycling reduces pollutants that harm our health.
Tire recycling supports local jobs and innovation, boosting Manitoba’s economy.
Give your tires a second chance and help us reduce Manitoba’s carbon footprint.
Every single day in Manitoba everyone will use tires, whether it is your delivery service, Public Transportation, a bicycle or your own vehicle. But where do our old and worn tires go? Right here in Manitoba your tires are given a second chance, they are collected across Manitoba and recycled right here in our province. When you recycle your end-of-life tires, you’re keeping them out of the landfill and preserving our air, water and land for future generations. You’re helping reduce Manitoba’s CO2 emissions and protecting our ecosystems from harmful pollutants. You’re helping our province use tires in environmentally responsible ways. And that’s beautiful.
Recycling tires is better for the environment. Together, let’s turn our tires into something beautiful.
How it Works
For every new tire sold an end-of-life tire will eventually be generated. Instead of taking up space in our landfills and posing a risk to human health and the environment, end of life tires can be processed and used in environmentally responsible ways.
To manage end of life tires generated in Manitoba, retailers will pay Tire Stewardship Manitoba a steward-fee for new tires sold in the province. 100 percent of fees collected go towards the operation of the scrap tire recycling program.
Properly managed end-of-life tires reduce environmental risk and create jobs and economic development right here in Manitoba.
