A. The Department of Environmental Quality allows the public to bring (5) tires *per person/per day to Colt, Inc. Anything over 5 please call ahead.
Q. Can anybody pick up tires?
A. No, in order to transport tires in Louisiana a person/company must be permitted by LA DEQ as a Waste Tire Transporter. Unless they are bringing (5) tires to a permitted collection facility.
Q. Can your shredded tire material be used in playgrounds, driveways, horse stalls, and flower beds?
A. No, currently Colt, Inc. shreds the whole tire so there is still some wire in the product; therefore it would not be an approved market.

A. There are many uses for the material in Civil Engineering Projects. Please view our Beneficial End Uses page for more information.
Q. Can you pick up offshore or 'cleanup' tires from third party business?
