Independent Tire Recycling Alliance
A nationwide coalition of licensed tire transporters competing for — and winning — national disposal contracts with the country's largest retail tire chains.
A $19 billion industry with no unified small-hauler voice
Large retail chains dispose of millions of tires annually — but they can't manage hundreds of local logistics relationships. That's the gap the Alliance fills.
National retail chains generating millions of scrap tires every year
These chains charge customers $1–$25 per tire in disposal fees and need licensed third-party haulers to remove, transport, and recycle those tires compliantly across all their locations.
Three simple steps from member to contract winner
You join as a verified member
Any licensed tire transporter — small or large — can apply. You must hold valid state permits for tire transportation in your operating region. Wild Dog Recycling verifies credentials and adds you to the Alliance network.
Wild Dog bids for national contracts under the Alliance banner
Wild Dog Recycling acts as the lead bidder and contract holder, presenting the combined geographic coverage, fleet capacity, and state permit map of all Alliance members. This gives us the scale to compete with large national operators like Liberty Tire Recycling.
Contracts are assigned by region — you get paid
When a contract is won, pickups are routed to the Alliance member closest to each retail location. Members receive per-pickup or per-ton compensation. Wild Dog handles billing, compliance reporting, and all contract management.
What you need to qualify
Requirements vary by state, but every Alliance member must meet our minimum federal and operational baseline. If you're already operating legally, you likely qualify.
Strength in numbers — what membership gives you
Going it alone, a small hauler can't compete for Walmart's national contract. Together, Alliance members become a force that national chains actively want to partner with.
Regulatory pressure is creating urgency for retailers
