This article aims to analyze the types of disposal of used and unusable tires in the municipality
of Araguaína - TO and as specific objectives to identify the types of collection, storage and
transport of these residues, correlating the people involved with the shared responsibility for
the life cycle of the products, according to Law 12305-2010. This is a Case Study. It presents a
qualitative approach and as a form of data collection, it was carried out through a semi-
structured interview with the manager of the company in the tire trade sector. For the theoretical
reference, searches were carried out on Google Scholar, Scielo, and specialized magazines. It
is justified by the importance of the topic related to reverse tire logistics, so that they do not
become harmful to the environment. Thus, it can be seen that the company uses reverse logistics
to account for the volume of used and unusable products delivered by its users daily (between
26 and 28 tires) in order to dispose of them efficiently, that is, forwarding to the municipal
deposit and from there to the recycling industries in another unit of the federation. However,
greater effort is needed from the public authorities so that the Law is adopted by a greater
number of companies, and that people who make irregular disposal are made aware and, if
necessary, punished.
