This study focuses on recovery options for end-of-life tires (ELTs). One of the most proper recovery options for ELTs is incineration of them in cement plants. There are 49 integrated cement factories which have Environmental Permit and License Certificate in Turkey as the final processing plant. Besides benefits of recovering ELTs to environment, cost aspect of process is crucial. In this study, logistic network design of waste tires sent from collection points to these factories to minimize the costs involved is planned. There are three echelons of supply chain as waste tires collection point, contractor firms and cement factories. Model for this network considers transshipment plan of waste tires between the echelons of supply chain and routes used to gather them. Model that deal with this system are expressed as mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. As a case study, model verified with data’s for Ankara
