About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the collection site bond actually covers

Michigan regulates scrap tire collection sites under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (1994 PA 451), administered by EGLE. A registered collection site stores scrap tires, and the state wants a financial backstop in case the site is abandoned with tires still on the ground.

The bond is a performance and cleanup guarantee: if the site fails to manage or remove its tires as Part 169 requires, EGLE can draw on the bond to fund removal and cleanup. The amount is sized to your indoor and outdoor tire storage area, so it scales with how many tires you hold.

Some processing sites can qualify for a bonding exemption under MCL 324.16903b — generally, a site that processes tires, recycles or recovers at least 75% by weight or volume each year, and has been in compliance for at least a year. If you think you qualify, confirm with EGLE; otherwise we issue the bond at the amount EGLE set, at a flat 3%.

NREPA Part 169 (1994 PA 451); MCL 324.16903bMichigan scrap tire collection sites are registered and regulated under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, administered by EGLE. A performance bond (or cash, CD, or letter of credit) backs removal and cleanup; the amount is sized to the registered storage area. A processing-site bonding exemption is available under MCL 324.16903b for sites meeting the 75% recycling and one-year compliance conditions. Confirm your required amount on your EGLE registration.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Michigan scrap tire collection site bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by EGLE on your collection site registration and is tied to the size of your tire storage area. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Who requires this bond? +
EGLE requires it under Part 169 of NREPA (1994 PA 451) as financial assurance for a registered scrap tire collection site. The bond, or an alternative like cash, a CD, or a letter of credit, backs removal and cleanup if a site is abandoned.
Can my site avoid the bond? +
Possibly. MCL 324.16903b provides a bonding exemption for certain processing sites that recycle or recover at least 75% of their tires by weight or volume each year and have been in compliance for at least a year. Confirm eligibility with EGLE — if you don’t qualify, we issue the bond at your required amount.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
How long does the bond stay in force? +
EGLE scrap tire bonds are continuous until canceled. The surety must give the state 120 days’ notice before cancellation, so your site registration is never left unprotected without warning.
