Louisiana collects a fee on every tire sold. Nothing proves the tire ever reached a processor.
Maverick closes that gap. Every fee collected at the register is tied to a tire, every tire is tied to a manifest, and every manifest is tied to the processor that received it — ending in a monthly filing the state can reconcile line by line.

The last segment is where the state's record ends today. Nothing downstream of the register is provable without a custody chain.
Four custody events, one auditable filing
Register
The LDEQ waste tire fee is captured as its own invoice line the moment a tire is sold, per LDEQ category, with no tax applied to it.
Yard
Waste tires taken in are counted against the tires sold, so on-hand inventory maintains itself and the 20-tire storage threshold is visible before it is crossed.
Manifest
An electronic manifest replaces the paper one. The hauler acknowledges pickup and the processor confirms the count from a single-use link — no account required.
Filing
The monthly report builds itself from the ledger, is snapshotted with a SHA-256 hash when finalized, and cites every transaction it was built from.
The WT-02 is due the 20th. Late costs $25 or 10%, whichever is greater.
Fee capture, storage limits, manifests and the monthly report — handled at the counter instead of on the 19th.
For tire shopsThe state gets the reconciliation it currently has no way to compute.
An append-only custody ledger, immutable hashed report snapshots, per-lot chain reconstruction and a scoped read-only auditor role.
For regulatorsRecycling improved. Accounting did not.
End-use markets have not kept pace with generation, which is why the tires that fall out of the chain end up in dumps and fires rather than in a product. See the Louisiana record.
