The new structures which I am introducing for tyres and waste tyres will come into effect on 1 October 2017. The new structures will not limit the number of waste collectors collecting waste tyres.  All waste collectors who are permitted by the National Waste Collection Permit Office to collect tyres will be able to do so under the new structures. They will however have to register with, and report tyre collections to, an approved body.  I will be approving Repak ELT as that body once the regulations giving effect to the new structures are finalised.
