Ontario generates over 10 million waste passenger tire equivalents per year. Some are reused but the majority go into the waste stream. In support of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment's efforts to dispose of waste tires, the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario built a demonstration hot mix pavement incorporating waste tire rubber at Thamesville in 1990. The work consisted of 6.5 km each of asphalt rubber mix and standard mix. Both mixes were produced in a drum plant and placed with conventional paving equipment. The rubber content of the mix was 2.0 percent. A description of the work, a preliminary performance evaluation, a discussion on the findings of the environmental and worker safety testing and a costing analysis are included in the paper.
