Not sure about "TIN". When I was helping some of these tires were so old they just shredded when pulled from the mud. We found tires on rims with lug patterns from the 1940's. I was told some of these tires pulled were over 30 years old. Even when cleaning the Raritan and South Branch we saw very little "new" tires. Occasionally you came across some sporty tires that some teenager dumped because he didn't want to pay the $8.00 disposal fee.
I think most companies large and small are quite aware of the consequences of dumping and the fines they can bring now. Luke and I did continually find motorcycle tires being dumped by a small company near Queens Bridge in Bound Brook though.
