GA scrap tire carrier bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A Georgia scrap tire carrier files a financial-assurance bond with the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) under O.C.G.A. 12-8-40.1 as a condition of its hauling permit. The amount tracks your volume — commonly $10,000 or $20,000 — and the premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the scrap tire bond covers
Georgia regulates scrap tires under the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act and O.C.G.A. 12-8-40.1, administered by the Environmental Protection Division (EPD). A carrier that transports scrap tires must hold a permit and post a financial-assurance bond so the state has recourse if the carrier violates the scrap-tire rules.
The amount is set by the EPD director as necessary to ensure compliance, but the statute caps it at $25,000. In practice the division uses tiered amounts: commonly $10,000 for carriers hauling up to 5,000 tires per month and $20,000 for more. A letter of credit can be filed instead of a bond.
If a carrier is responsible for damages — illegal dumping, abandoned tires — a claim can be made up to the full bond, with proceeds going to the state's solid waste trust fund. If the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the EPD's amount from $100, with the application collecting no credit information.
