Illinois requires financial assurance for used-tire storage, disposal, and processing sites under the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5, Title XIV — Used Tires). When the Illinois EPA wants that assurance in the form of a surety bond, pricing starts from $100; the application collects no credit information — enter the amount your permit requires.
















No underwriting queue for the standard waste-tire assurance bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Illinois EPA. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the IEPA set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information; most bonds issue instantly upon payment. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond as the financial assurance for your used-tire site permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Agency insists on them.
Illinois regulates used and waste tires under Title XIV of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/53 et seq.). An operator of a tire storage, disposal, or processing site must run it in compliance with Pollution Control Board rules, which include financial-assurance requirements so the State isn’t left holding cleanup costs.
A surety bond is one accepted form of that financial assurance. It backs the cost of closing and cleaning up the site — abating a tire pile, controlling mosquito and fire hazards, and proper disposal — if the operator can’t or won’t. The Illinois EPA, not the operator, is protected.
The amount is set by the Illinois EPA based on the estimated closure and cleanup cost for your specific site under the Board’s rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 848). Enter the figure your permit names and we issue the bond starting from $100; the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Illinois EPA set — the executed assurance bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
