Executive Overview
Large OTR mining tires create a long-term environmental, operational, and compliance challenge. Americans Trades Waste Management provides mining companies with a practical program to remove OTR tire stockpiles from site and transfer them into a documented recovery route.
Program Focus
OTR tires
Large mining tire stockpiles
500+ tons
Preferred pilot volume
The Mining Tire Disposal Problem
- Large stockpiles occupy space and create visible environmental liability.
- OTR tires require safe cutting, loading, transport, and documentation.
- Local recyclers may not absorb large ultra-class tire volumes.
- Mines increasingly require traceability for ESG and audits.
Our Solution
- Stockpile assessment and photographic documentation
- Safe preparation, cutting, handling, and loading plan
- Mine-to-port logistics and export/recovery route
- Final disposal or recovery certificate
- ESG and environmental traceability report
Benefits to the Mine
- Removes a long-term environmental liability from site.
- Supports ESG and circular-economy reporting.
- Creates a clear chain of custody from stockpile to recovery.
- Can handle larger volumes than many local outlets.

Compliance & Documentation Approach
For Peru, the project should align with local NFU/end-of-life tire requirements, mine safety rules, transport requirements, and export/import documentation where applicable.
- Stockpile assessment report
- Tire inventory and photographic record
- Handling, cutting, loading method statement
- Transport and chain-of-custody records
- Final recovery/disposal certificate
Information Requested From the Mine
- Approximate number of tires or estimated tons
- Tire sizes, brands, and condition
- Photos, videos, drone images, or site layout
- Mine location and GPS coordinates
- Truck access, loading equipment, and safety rules
- Certificate or reporting requirements
Recommended Pilot Program
- Volume: 500 to 1,500 tons
- Whole OTR tires stored above ground
- Truck access and loading equipment available
- Final disposal/recovery certificate required
- Objective: prove process, cost, documentation, and recovery route
Indicative Commercial Structure
| Condition | Range |
|---|---|
| Easy access / near port | USD $500–$550/t |
| Remote mine / high altitude | USD $575–$650/t |
| Urgent cleanup | USD $650–$750/t |
Recommended Next Step
Send photos, estimated quantities, tire sizes, GPS location, access conditions, certificate requirements, and timeline. We will prepare a preliminary disposal concept.
