A registered scrap tire collection site in Michigan posts a performance bond with EGLE under Part 169 of NREPA so the state can remove and clean up the tires if a site walks away. The amount scales with your storage area — we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft credit pull, and file with EGLE. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, your collection site registration or WDS number, your storage area, the bond amount EGLE set, and the effective date — that is the application, plus a one-time soft-pull consent.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Receive the executed bond ready to file with your scrap tire collection site registration. EGLE bonds are continuous until canceled, with 120 days’ notice to the state before cancellation. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure EGLE set and the premium updates.
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%.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
