Georgia Scrap Tire Carrier Bond
Overview
Scrap tire carriers operating in Georgia need this bond before they can legally haul tires across the state. Georgia's Environmental Protection Division requires it as a condition of your Scrap Tire Carrier registration — it's not optional, and you can't move scrap tires commercially without it. This bond backs your commitment to handle, transport, and dispose of scrap tires in full compliance with Georgia's solid waste and scrap tire management regulations, protecting the public and the environment from the contamination and fire hazards that illegal tire dumping creates.
Who Needs This Bond?
Haulers who pick up scrap tires from auto dealers, tire retailers, garages, or fleet operators and transport them for processing or disposal need this bond. Recyclers and processors that also perform collection runs on their own trucks are required to carry it. Any business or individual applying for a Georgia Scrap Tire Carrier registration with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division must have this bond on file before the registration is issued.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you will transport scrap tires only to permitted processors, recyclers, end-users, or disposal facilities — never to unpermitted sites or illegal dumps. If you abandon a load, dump tires illegally, or fail to meet Georgia's scrap tire management requirements, the state has a financial remedy through this bond. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the public are the protected parties; the bond exists to ensure that the cost of cleaning up improperly disposed tires doesn't fall on Georgia taxpayers or landowners.
When is it Required?
Before your Georgia Scrap Tire Carrier registration is approved, the state will require this bond as part of the application package. You submit proof of the bond along with your registration materials — EPD will not issue or renew your carrier registration without it in place. If you are already registered and your bond lapses, your registration is at risk of suspension until a new bond is filed.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement. It applies to every scrap tire collection and transport run you make within the state of Georgia, regardless of which county or region you operate in. It is issued to satisfy the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's requirements and has no effect on permits or registrations required in other states.
