BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
One of the first things we advise clients, even before they develop their business plans (and certainly, before they start to implement them) is to meet with us and determine if their assumptions are sound. California is unique in that its tire programs, while numerous, are often shortsighted, its disposal fees vary significantly by region, and the location and type of a facility is extremely important. We feel that a one- or two-hour confidential consultation session can often make the difference between a successful venture and one that doesn’t meet expectations.
For eleven years prior to forming TL & Associates, Terry Leveille worked with the California State Legislature and was an advisor to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), the regulatory agency overseeing tire recycling facilities. He is familiar with the laws and regulations affecting all facets of the waste tire industry, and works with the state's tire program staff on a daily basis. In addition, he has consulted for, and provided information to, well over one hundred tire recycling firms throughout the country, including cement plants, power plants, and cogeneration facilities that burn TDF, crumb rubber producers, the Rubber Pavements Association, and the Scrap Tire Management Council.
Terry has a solid understanding of the tire recycling industry in California, including which businesses have had the most success, which have failed, and which show the greatest promise. As an information gatherer and advisor, he knows which firms are expanding their operations in the state and why they think they can succeed. Moreover, Terry can outline for you new laws and regulations that state officials are considering which will affect the state’s waste tire industry.
WASTE TIRE FLOW AND MARKET ANALYSES
TL & Associates can provide you with a report on waste tire flow, crafted to fit any region within California and your specific tire needs (passenger/light truck, OTRs, etc.). A tire flow analysis includes identifying sources and suppliers of tires, haulers, and cost-effective disposal options. Most importantly, we have access to many of the "underground" tip fees that are paid by established recyclers and may not public information. If you are interested in "legacy" stockpiled tires, we will identify permitted and unpermitted sites in any region in the state. Names, addresses, and phone numbers of contacts of major suppliers, haulers, recyclers, landfills, and stockpiles will accompany reports.
A market analysis will include pertinent waste tire flow information as well as a survey of competitors in a particular tire recycling field. Reports will include an assessment of future issues, including proposed legislation and regulations, state budgets for tire recycling programs, disposal/recycling options that are growing or receding, and recommendations.
