The scrap tire crisis carries real environmental and community risk. As collection and recycling falls far behind, the danger for issues from fraud to fire have piled up as well. These processing shortfalls have also greatly impacted our hauling, collection and recycling businesses- raising concerns about the long-term sustainability and credibility of the province’s recycling framework.

The Washington-based United States Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) has announced that its president and CEO Anne Forristall Luke will retire at the end of this year after leading the association for 11 years.

The company maintained an 81% utilization rate through beneficial reuse across 219 million tires collected. These results also reflect Liberty’s continued focus on its workforce and communities.
