It is proposed to raise within the laws of the country, to collect a green fee on each new tyre sold in SA to create a collection fund.    In brief, the monies raised will be used to cover the cost of transporting waste tyres from tyre dealers and delivering them to processors. Money will also be used for auditing, administration and a limited proposed disposal fee to Waste Tyre Processors who have signed contracts with the SATRP Company. 

The green fee will be widely publicised by the SATRP Company in order to make the public aware of the costs  and which tyre brands are involved. 

The level of the Green Fee will be solely based on the cost to operate the SATRP Company, no profit will be made.  The major portion of the fee will be required to transport and store the waste tyres before processing.  
Finally, the total cost of tyres in SA will be recovered once the waste tyre collection process operates properly and land fill sites are relieved of the burden. The social problem associated with waste tyres should also be minimised.

In some instances, e.g. aircraft tyres, a collection fee will be charged instead of a green fee to deal with the practical economic  issue of the process.
