A Thunder Bay tire recycling company is experiencing significant operational challenges due to a backlog in Ontario's tire recycling system. This has resulted in approximately 20,000 tires accumulating on their property, exceeding storage limits and leading to violations. Consequently, the business has been forced to lay off five employees over the past year. The owner is calling for changes to the provincial system, which she believes is affecting numerous businesses and communities. Load Queen Services is working to reduce its tire inventory while awaiting processing appointments.
