Background:
In 2019, Bid #19-72, seeking fixed prices from contractors to furnish annual processing of waste tires in Alachua County was completed, with Global Tire as the top ranked contractor. On April 23, 2019, the Agreement for Contractual Services between Alachua County and Global Tire Recycling Inc. was approved by the BOCC. The Leveda Brown Environmental Park (LBEP) is the County’s FDEP permitted waste tire collection site. The LBEP accepts waste tires from residents and businesses of Alachua County. By offering this service, Alachua County ensures that there is an available disposal location for waste tires thereby limiting the amount of waste tires disposed of illegally on the roadside and in wooded areas. The Waste Tire Rule 62-711.550 permits no more than 1,500 tires on this site at any given time and also requires that the County have an agreement in place to ensure the removal of tires.
