About Us
What is TSS?
We’re a non-profit corporation that was established in June 2017 to serve as the scrap tire management and recycling program operator in Saskatchewan.
Working with stakeholders and the public, we ensure that scrap tires are recycled in an environmentally friendly and sound manner.
Why recycle tires?
Recycling keeps a major pollutant out of landfills, preventing soil and groundwater contamination. Stockpiled tires can be fire hazards and release toxic smoke and oil into the air. By redistributing them for recycling, fires can be reduced greatly.
Out of program materials
- Tires with rim size 7” or smaller — too small for processing
- OTR tires larger than 39” — exceeds equipment limits
- Tires still mounted on rims — must be removed before drop-off
- Foam-filled tires — cannot be shredded or processed

- Packer wheels — solid construction prevents recycling
- Solid forklift tires — non-processable rubber composition
- Snowmobile or quad tracks — not classified as recyclable tires
- Bicycle or e-bike tires — not part of the current program

Government of Saskatchewan regulations mandate tire retailers in the province to collect and remit tire recycling fees in accordance with the approved Product Stewardship Program and the Scrap Tire Management Regulations. Based on our program approval, the TSS is responsible for collecting these remitted tire recycling fees from retailers and then providing retailers with effective scrap tire collection services.
