What it is and who needs it.
What the waste tire bond actually covers
Louisiana regulates waste tires through the Department of Environmental Quality under the solid-waste rules in LAC Title 33, Part VII. Anyone who transports more than twenty waste tires within the state must notify DEQ and operate as a permitted transporter — and post a surety bond as a financial guarantee.
The bond runs in favor of DEQ and is a minimum of $10,000, on the language the regulations prescribe (LAC 33:VII, Appendix B). It backs the transporter's compliance with the standards in Section 10523 — proper manifesting, delivery only to authorized destinations, and the rest of the waste tire program.
If a transporter mishandles waste tires or otherwise violates the program and the state incurs a loss, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Pricing starts from $200; your exact price is set at the application, which collects no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with DEQ. Submit the executed bond with your waste tire transporter notification and proof of vehicle liability insurance. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever DEQ insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
