South Carolina waste tire hauler bonds.
$200 flat.

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 $200 flat — our carrier's rate book price, the same for every hauler. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

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 $200 flat; the application collects no credit information.

S.C. Reg. 61-107.3 / S.C. Code § 44-96-170 (SCDES)Under South Carolina Regulation 61-107.3 and the Solid Waste Policy and Management Act (S.C. Code § 44-96-170), a person transporting more than 15 waste tires at one time for storage, processing, or disposal must register and provide $10,000 of financial assurance — a surety bond is one accepted form — to cover cleanup or corrective action. The requirement took effect in June 2015; the program is administered by SCDES (successor to DHEC) since July 1, 2024.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the South Carolina waste tire hauler bond?The premium is $200 — our carrier's rate book price for the $10,000 financial-assurance amount, the same for every hauler. The $10,000 is set by Regulation 61-107.3, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $200. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the state has to draw on the assurance for cleanup — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who has to register and bond?Anyone who transports more than 15 waste tires at one time for storage, processing, or disposal in South Carolina. Below that threshold the registration and financial-assurance requirement does not apply.
Is there a credit check?Not on this bond — the application collects no credit information at all.
Could I use a letter of credit instead?Yes — Regulation 61-107.3 accepts several forms of assurance, including a surety bond, a letter of credit, insurance, a trust fund, or a corporate financial test. A surety bond is usually cheapest — you pay $200 a year instead of tying up $10,000.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
