On August 18, 2009, Governor Bill Ritter announced a budget balancing plan to close a $318 million shortfall in the current 2009-10 state budget. As part of this plan, $2.7 million has been eliminated from the Waste Tire Program through the remainder of this fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

As a result, the Waste Tire Clean-up, Recycling Incentives, and End-User/Processor Programs have been suspended until future revenues become available. At this time, we do not know exactly when applications for these programs will be accepted; however, we will post information on this website as soon as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact Tamra Hooper, Program Manager, at 303-866-6398. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,
Susan E. Kirkpatrick
Executive Director
