About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

South Carolina regulates waste tire hauling under the Solid Waste Policy and Management Act (S.C. Code § 44-96-170) and Regulation 61-107.3. Anyone who transports more than 15 waste tires at one time for storage, processing, or disposal must register and post $10,000 of financial assurance.

A surety bond is one accepted form of that assurance, alongside a letter of credit, insurance, trust fund, or financial test. The assurance stands behind cleanup and corrective action — if a hauler abandons or improperly disposes of tires, the state can draw on it to pay for the cleanup.

The financial-assurance requirement took effect under the amended Regulation 61-107.3 in June 2015. As of the agency reorganization on July 1, 2024, this program sits with the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), the successor to DHEC’s environmental programs. We issue the $10,000 bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

S.C. Reg. 61-107.3 / S.C. Code § 44-96-170 (SCDES)Under South Carolina Regulation 61-107.3 and the Solid Waste Policy and Management Act (S.C. Code § 44-96-170), a person transporting more than 15 waste tires at one time for storage, processing, or disposal must register and provide $10,000 of financial assurance — a surety bond is one accepted form — to cover cleanup or corrective action. The requirement took effect in June 2015; the program is administered by SCDES (successor to DHEC) since July 1, 2024.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the South Carolina waste tire hauler bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 financial-assurance amount, the same for every hauler. The $10,000 is set by Regulation 61-107.3, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the state has to draw on the assurance for cleanup — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who has to register and bond? +
Anyone who transports more than 15 waste tires at one time for storage, processing, or disposal in South Carolina. Below that threshold the registration and financial-assurance requirement does not apply.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount assurance bonds like this one don't need one.
Could I use a letter of credit instead? +
Yes — Regulation 61-107.3 accepts several forms of assurance, including a surety bond, a letter of credit, insurance, a trust fund, or a corporate financial test. A surety bond is usually cheapest — you pay $300 a year instead of tying up $10,000.
