Working with eTracks

We will work with Haulers and Processors who are enrolled with us to oversee the transportation of end-of-life tires to their facilities. All payments will be made by eTracks directly to the Processors. Processors & Haulers will need to work out a business relationship to determine how deliveries to the Processing facility will work and how payment will be made to the Haulers.

Once a Processor is registered with RPRA and enrolled with eTracks, they need to:

• Accept tires from all eTracks enrolled Haulers free of charge, based on the types of tires the Processor is able to accept
• Provide proof of end-use for Tire-Derived Products (TDPs) sold and demonstrate that the materials being used are with the program mandate.
• Submit and report delivery of tires to eTracks within a 30-day window for the previous month
