Baton Rouge currently has few options for the disposal of tires, which are often dumped hundreds at a time in the city's poorest communities.
This is what I’m confused about. Seems like you could track who is dumping that large of an amount of tires.

Here is what is going on with that. The state legislated that every time someone buys a tire they pay a "tire disposal fee" (I think it is $2.00 passenger car, $5.00 light truck, $10.00 off road a tire) and that the tire shop collect that money and pay it to the state. Well you know damn well the tire shop doesn't want to give that money to the state. So they find some enterprising young gentleman with a pickup truck who says: "I will take those tires off your hand and you only have to pay me $1.00 a tire. I promise to recycle them like the state mandates." Tire shop guy knows good damn and well what is going to happen but his hands are clean so he pays the guy, keeps the rest and the tires get dumped illegally.
