Goals for the next 25/26 calendar year

Tire Dumping and Non-Compliant Automotive Businesses in the City of Gary, Indiana

The City of Gary, Indiana Code Enforcement Department is committed to addressing the ongoing issue of illegal tire dumping and ensuring that automotive businesses comply with proper tire disposal practices. Our plan begins with a citywide survey, to be conducted over the first 60 days, identifying areas where tire dumping is most prevalent and cataloging businesses that generate significant tire waste. We will leverage this data to create a comprehensive map of high-risk dumping areas and target businesses that need immediate oversight.
