Eligible Projects/Products
CalRecycle is responsible for performing all activities related to enforcing waste tire permitting, hauling, and storage laws and regulations.

The unincorporated area of its own county.
The incorporated areas of all cities within the boundaries of the county that are not TEA grantees nor Participating Collaborative Jurisdictions on any other jurisdiction’s TEA grant application.
