HI HCR314

Urges the Department of Health to develop and implement a voucher system for tire collection services in Hawaii.

Requires tire collection services to deliver used tires to recycling facilities before receiving payment, preventing tires from ending up in illegal dump sites.

Addresses the problem of 500,000 to 1,000,000 waste tires generated annually in Hawaii, many of which are illegally dumped and cause environmental damage including fires and mosquito breeding grounds.

Responds to reports that some tire collection services are not properly delivering collected tires to recycling facilities, with tires instead found in illegal dumps particularly on the Waianae Coast.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the Director of Health, President of Maui Tire Recycling, LLC, and President of Unitek Solvent Services, Inc.
