Scrap Tire Recycling

Golden By-Products Inc., a leading CA-based recycler and hauler of scrap auto tires, is facing a steep fine from the state. According to their company website they: “currently handle in excess of 4 million tires annually, over 33% of the Northern California market share; specializes in servicing Northern California’s vast agriculture & transportation industries, with the ability to handle tires of every size.” GBPI handles the scrap and recycling of these tires, many of which come from junk cars, scrap cars and decommissioned service vehicles. In an October 1, 2014 article on tirebusiness.com “The CA Dept. of Resources Recycling & Recovery (CalRecycle) has scheduled a hearing Oct. 15-17 at its Sacramento HQ over a proposed $965,000 fine against one of the largest scrap tire haulers and recyclers in the state. CalRecycle has accused Ballico-based Golden By-Products Inc. in Merced County of storing several times the number of passenger tire equivalents (PTEs) on its premises as its state permit allows. Golden By-Products also failed to follow state regulations regarding storage of waste tires and prevention of mosquito breeding in waste tires, the agency said in an Aug. 27 administrative complaint.” The full story is available here: http://www.tirebusiness.com/article/20141001/NEWS/141009992/hearing-scheduled-over-fine-for-calif-tire-recycler

Here in Cleveland, OH, we have a fairly limited problem with mosquitoes, due to our weather. The brutal NE Ohio winters certainly keep mosquito activity to a minimum for a good portion of the year. According to the Connecticut Mosquito Management Program “Mosquitoes are cold-blooded creatures & don’t generally bite in temperatures below 50F. In Connecticut, some adult mosquitoes become inactive with the onset of cold weather & enter into hibernation before the first frost. Other mosquitoes die in the fall but have winter-hardy eggs, which hibernate as embryos.” Mosquitos are a problem when dealing with scrap auto tires because when improperly stored, the scrap tires can hold standing water, which invite these pests. Let’s take a look at the comparison of weather between Merced, CA and Cleveland, OH:

Months with low temperatures below 50 degrees:
Cleveland: January, February, March, April, May, October, November, December
Merced: January, February, March, April, October, November, December

At first glance it seems that Cleveland’s month of May would be the lone month differentiating the two cities; however, the daily high temperature in Cleveland during April is only 59 degrees versus Merced’s average daily high temperature of 75 degrees. So in actuality, the mosquitoes can likely withstand Merced’s limited low spring-time temperatures, where as in Cleveland the mosquitoes would be much less likely to exist until at least late-May.
