6.5 million tyres reach their end of life in New Zealand every year and now a long awaited regulation change is set to improve the way they are disposed of.
From March next year, when you buy a new tyre, you'll also be paying $6.65 + GST for its disposal.
This fund will enable Tyrewise to provide free collection and ensure tyres end up at registered processors.
