A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC, is one of the most efficient and productive tire recycling facilities in the world; and

WHEREAS, countless used and discarded rubber tires make their way to landfills each year to spend eternity as rubber tires, since tires never decompose naturally; and

WHEREAS, established in 1988, Liberty Tire Recycling has recycled almost 100 million tires from throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands; and

WHEREAS, Liberty Tire Recycling keeps old tires out of landfills and makes them into products that are re-sold in the marketplace; and

WHEREAS, the rubber from worn tires is broken down into mulch and used for other products or as fuel in paper mills; and

WHEREAS, the steel threading in old tires is melted down and sold; and

WHEREAS, the success of this amazing company is due in part to the outstanding regulatory job done by the Scrap Tire Program of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding work of this fine company and its excellent work safeguarding the environment for future generations be appropriately recognized.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC, for 22 years of diligent work recycling unwanted tires into usable products and keeping tires out of Georgia's landfills.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC.
