New Mexico requires every registered scrap tire hauler to acquire and maintain a $10,000 surety bond with the Environment Department under 20.9.20.27 NMAC. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and registration bonds like this issue instantly.
















Registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond on the department form arrives by email, ready to file with your scrap tire hauler registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
New Mexico registers scrap tire haulers through the Environment Department's Solid Waste Bureau, and conditions registration on a $10,000 surety bond under 20.9.20.27 NMAC. The bond provides limited financial assurance for the cleanup and proper disposal of scrap tires a hauler is found to have illegally dumped.
The bond names the secretary of the Environment Department as the obligee and is filed on the department's form. It must be continuous in nature, and the surety must give the department 60 days' notice before cancellation — with a 30-day window for the hauler to file a replacement.
If you illegally dump scrap tires and the department incurs cleanup costs, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Haulers who dispose of tires at permitted facilities treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't have a credit section.
