    Calif. bill proposes $2 fee on new tires

    SACRAMENTO, Calif.-Repre-sentatives of the Modesto Energy Project tires-to-energy plant have introduced a bill in the California legislature that would charge a $2 fee on each new tire sold in the state and establish an incentive payment program to scrap tire recyclers and tires-to-energy projects.

    The Western States Tire & Automotive Service Association-which began a postcard campaign last fall protesting the proposed fee in anticipation of the bill's introduction-said it will continue to lobby against the bill.

    Currently, California collects a 25-cent disposal fee on old tires left with tire retailers.
