Tyre Stewardship Fee
Q: Why am I being charged a Tyre Stewardship Fee on my order?
A: As of 1st March 2024, a tyre stewardship fee will be charged on all new tyres sold – loose or on a vehicle.
The Tyre Stewardship Fee replaces current disposal charges and covers the future management of the tyre on which it is paid.
The fee will cover the following activities:
- management of the scheme
- tyre collection services
- incentive payment for processing and tyre-derived product manufacture
- research and development grants
- monitoring of the scheme by Ministry for the Environment (this is set at 0.48% of the fee)
