2006 New York Code - Prohibition On Land Burial.

 
  § 27-1911. Prohibition on land burial.
    1.  No  person  shall  knowingly  dispose of waste tires in a landfill
  except as provided in subdivision two of this section.
    2. No moneys from the waste tire management and recycling  fund  shall
  be  used  to  dispose of waste tires in a landfill unless the department
  has determined that it is not feasible to convert the waste tires  to  a
  beneficial     use.     Department-approved     beneficial    uses    of
  scrap-tire-derived material for  leachate  collection  systems,  or  gas
  collection  systems  in  the construction or operation of a landfill are
  not considered disposal.
