About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Iowa regulates waste tire management under Iowa Code chapter 455D, and section 455D.11I requires a person who hauls waste tires to register with the Department of Natural Resources and provide a surety bond naming the State of Iowa as obligee. The bond is continuous — it stays in effect until canceled by the surety.

The bond stands behind the hauler’s proper handling and disposal of waste tires, so the state has a financial backstop against illegal dumping or stockpiling and the cleanup costs that follow.

On the amount: the hauler bond was $10,000 under the older administrative code (567 ch. 116). The 2021 amendment to 455D.11I raised it to a $150,000 minimum, and the DNR registration application asks for $150,000 today — that is the bond we issue.

Iowa Code 455D.11I(6) (Iowa DNR)Iowa Code 455D.11I requires a waste tire hauler to register with the Department of Natural Resources and file a continuous surety bond in a minimum amount of $150,000, naming the State of Iowa as obligee — raised from the $10,000 in the older administrative code by the 2021 amendment. The bond stays in effect until canceled by the surety.
