About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the hauler bond actually guarantees

Michigan registers scrap tire haulers under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of NREPA (1994 PA 451), administered by EGLE. A registered hauler must furnish evidence of a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of registration.

The bond is a compliance and cleanup guarantee: it stands behind the proper transport and disposal of scrap tires, and provides financial assurance for removing or cleaning up tires a hauler dumps at an illegal location. If a hauler abandons tires, the state can recover against the bond to bring them into compliance.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who deliver to licensed scrap or waste tire facilities and keep clean records treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

NREPA Part 169 (1994 PA 451)Michigan scrap tire haulers are registered under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, administered by EGLE. As a condition of registration, a hauler must furnish evidence of a $10,000 surety bond as financial assurance for the proper transport and disposal of scrap tires and the cleanup of illegally deposited tires.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $200 — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, and the price you see at checkout is what you pay. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Who requires this bond?EGLE requires it as a condition of a scrap tire hauler registration under Part 169 of NREPA (1994 PA 451). No active bond, no registration.

What does the bond guarantee?That you transport and dispose of scrap tires properly and deliver them to licensed facilities. It also provides financial assurance for cleaning up tires deposited at an illegal location. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It is the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The price is $200 either way.

When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. EGLE bonds are continuous until canceled (120 days’ notice to the state), and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed email.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
