Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XVIII. Public Health § 224.50-850.Legislative findings

The General Assembly finds that waste tires are a threat to human health, safety, and the environment when they are not properly managed. The General Assembly further finds that waste tires can be used in civil engineering applications, as tire-derived fuel, and may be recycled, but that markets for these uses have not been adequately developed. Therefore, a waste tire program should be established to manage waste tires in a way that protects human health, safety, and the environment, and which encourages the development of markets for waste tires.
