Storage discipline is one of the most important parts of tyre collection readiness. It affects workplace safety, collection speed, and how reliably your site can stay compliant under pressure.
This guide gives a practical framework used by workshops and service centres to reduce risk while making pickup operations smoother.
The 8-point storage checklist
- Use a dedicated tyre zone: keep storage away from active customer and loading paths.
- Apply stack-height limits: prevent unstable piles that create avoidable handling hazards.
- Maintain emergency access: leave clear routes to exits and fire controls.
- Separate waste streams: keep tyres clear of mixed waste and liquid contaminants.
- Control moisture and clutter: dry, tidy zones reduce slips and operational friction.
- Match pickups to real volume: schedule before overflow, not after.
- Train handling routines: short staff briefings improve consistency across shifts.
- Run weekly checks: catch risks early with a quick visual and count review.
Implementation plan for operations teams
Start with one site standard and one owner. Document a simple weekly checklist, align your pickup interval with volume trends, and review incidents or near misses monthly. Most storage issues are solved by consistency rather than complexity.
