AL scrap tire transporter bonds.
$300. Five minutes.

A scrap tire transporter permit from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) requires financial assurance — and a $10,000 surety bond is the cheapest way to meet it. Ours is $300 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with ADEM named as obligee.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Anyone who hauls scrap tires in Alabama must hold a scrap tire transporter permit from the Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), issued under the state’s Scrap Tire program (Ala. Code §22-40A and ADEM’s solid-waste rules). The permit conditions on financial assurance — and a $10,000 surety bond is one of the accepted forms.

You can satisfy the requirement three ways: a $10,000 performance or surety bond, a certified financial statement proving $100,000 net worth, or proof of $1,000,000 in insurance. The bond is the cheapest path — you pay the 3% premium instead of tying up $100,000 of net worth or carrying a large policy.

The bond stands behind your obligation to transport and dispose of scrap tires lawfully — illegal dumping or abandoning a load is what the state guards against. ADEM must be named as obligee, and only the original bond form is accepted, no copies. Transporter permits run a three-year term.

Ala. Code §22-40A (ADEM Scrap Tire program)Alabama’s Scrap Tire program under Code of Alabama 1975, §22-40A (Alabama Scrap Tire Environmental Quality Act) and ADEM’s administrative rules requires a scrap tire transporter to hold an ADEM permit and provide financial assurance. ADEM’s factsheet lists three options: a performance or surety bond of at least $10,000, a certified financial statement showing $100,000 net worth, or proof of $1,000,000 in insurance. ADEM must be named obligee; only original bond forms are accepted. Transporter permits run a three-year term.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alabama scrap tire transporter bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every hauler. The $10,000 is ADEM’s minimum bond figure for the financial-assurance requirement.
Do I have to use a bond? +
No — ADEM accepts three forms of financial assurance: a $10,000 bond, a $100,000 net-worth statement, or $1,000,000 in insurance. The bond is usually the cheapest, since you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up net worth or carrying a large policy.
Does ADEM accept a copy of the bond? +
No. ADEM requires the original bond form with ADEM named as obligee — no copies, no exceptions. We mail the wet-ink original so you can file it.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount permit bonds at this level don't need one.
How long is the permit term? +
ADEM scrap tire transporter permits run a three-year term. You can buy a matching multi-year bond so the assurance stays continuous across the permit period.
