Missourians buying new tires on Saturday will find a compete set of four will cost them another couple of bucks. The waste tire fee will be reinstated this weekend. The Department of Natural Resources expects to collect more than $2-Million a year from the fee. Scrap Tire Unit Chief Dan Fester says the Departament will soon start cleaning up a one-million tire dump – the state’s biggest one. He says it’s impossible to predict how long it will take. Fester says it costs about $2 to get each tire out of an illegal dump and get it into the recycling system.
