MI scrap tire collection site bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A registered scrap tire collection site in Michigan posts a performance bond with EGLE under Part 169 of NREPA so the state can remove and clean up the tires if a site walks away. The amount scales with your storage area — pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the collection site bond actually covers
Michigan regulates scrap tire collection sites under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (1994 PA 451), administered by EGLE. A registered collection site stores scrap tires, and the state wants a financial backstop in case the site is abandoned with tires still on the ground.
The bond is a performance and cleanup guarantee: if the site fails to manage or remove its tires as Part 169 requires, EGLE can draw on the bond to fund removal and cleanup. The amount is sized to your indoor and outdoor tire storage area, so it scales with how many tires you hold.
Some processing sites can qualify for a bonding exemption under MCL 324.16903b — generally, a site that processes tires, recycles or recovers at least 75% by weight or volume each year, and has been in compliance for at least a year. If you think you qualify, confirm with EGLE; otherwise we issue the bond at the amount EGLE set, starting from $100.
