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 $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and registration bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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 check 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.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
