A scrap tire transporter permit from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) requires financial assurance — and a $10,000 surety bond is the cheapest way to meet it. Ours is $100 flat, with ADEM named as obligee — the price you see is the checkout price.
















Permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit 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, with ADEM named as obligee, ready to submit with your transporter permit application. ADEM requires the original — no copies — and we mail the wet-ink bond.
Anyone who hauls scrap tires in Alabama must hold a scrap tire transporter permit from the Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), issued under the state’s Scrap Tire program (Ala. Code §22-40A and ADEM’s solid-waste rules). The permit conditions on financial assurance — and a $10,000 surety bond is one of the accepted forms.
You can satisfy the requirement three ways: a $10,000 performance or surety bond, a certified financial statement proving $100,000 net worth, or proof of $1,000,000 in insurance. The bond is the cheapest path — you pay the $100 premium instead of tying up $100,000 of net worth or carrying a large policy.
The bond stands behind your obligation to transport and dispose of scrap tires lawfully — illegal dumping or abandoning a load is what the state guards against. ADEM must be named as obligee, and only the original bond form is accepted, no copies. Transporter permits run a three-year term.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section. ADEM requires the original bond, so we mail the wet-ink copy with ADEM named as obligee.
