Post an 8 ½" x 14" or larger sign stating:

New York State law requires us to accept and manage waste tires from vehicles in exchange for an equal number of new tires that we sell or install. Tire retailers are required to charge a separate and distinct waste tire management and  recycling fee of $2.50 for each new tire sold. The retailers in addition are authorized, at their sole discretion, to pass on waste tire management and recycling costs to tire purchasers. Such costs may be included as part of the advertised price of the new tire, or charged as a separate per-tire charge in an amount not to exceed $2.50 on each new tire sold.

and one of the following statements:

Our waste tire management and recycling costs are included in the advertised price of each new tire.

We charge a separate per-tire charge of $2.50 on each new tire sold that will be listed on your invoice to cover our waste tire management and recycling costs.
