Tennessee is finalizing waste-tire hauler registration and manifest rules

Tennessee Public Chapter 614 created a waste-tire hauler registration and manifest program, with the operative statutory provisions effective July 1, 2025. TDEC's August 28, 2026 program update says Rule 0400-11-04 is still in final approval through the Governor's Office and registration is tentatively expected to open February 1, 2027. The developing program covers annual registration for commercial waste-tire haulers, vehicle identification, manifests and financial assurance.

What to check

Tennessee tire shops and other repair businesses that commercially transport waste tires should determine whether their hauling activity will require registration and manifests, and watch TDEC for the final rule and confirmed registration opening before treating the tentative February 2027 date as final.
