An authorised waste collector is defined in the regulations as a holder of a waste collection permit that is in force and which allows for the collection of waste tyres.

Obligations on Waste Collectors

Under the regulations, all waste collectors who are authorised to collect waste tyres in Co. Louth, were required to register with Louth County Council, TRACS or TWM by February 1st 2008. TRACS and TWM are the compliance schemes which have been approved by the Minister. Registration is required annually.

Please note that under the regulations, authorised waste collectors can only transfer waste tyres to:

• other authorised waste collectors who are registered
• authorised recovery operators
• farmers, provided that the quantity of tyres supplied will not result in the maximum quantity of tyres that can be stored from being exceeded (8 tyres per square metre of the floor area of the silage pit)
