What it is and who needs it.
What the scrap tire bond actually covers
Ohio regulates scrap tire facilities and transporters under ORC Chapter 3734 (ORC 3734.83 for transporter registration, 3734.85 for the broader program) and the EPA's rules in the OAC 3745-27 / 3745-580 series. A registration certificate requires financial assurance for closure.
Closure is the orderly shutdown of your operation — notifying customers, delivering all accumulated scrap tires to authorized locations, and returning your certificate and decals to the Ohio EPA. The bond guarantees that if you don't complete closure, the EPA can draw on it to finish the job.
The amount is set by the EPA based on the closure cost: a scrap tire transporter's closure assurance commonly starts around $20,000, while storage, monocell, or recovery facilities carry larger amounts scaled to the estimated cost of removing their permitted tire inventory. Enter the figure on your EPA paperwork and your price appears at checkout, starting from $100.
