A South Carolina waste tire hauler must post $10,000 of financial assurance — a surety bond is the common form — under Regulation 61-107.3, part of the Solid Waste Policy and Management Act. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every hauler. The application is five minutes.
















Registration bonds like this are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your hauler registration number, and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your South Carolina Department of Environmental Services waste tire hauler registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 financial assurance × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
