Illinois Waste Tire Storage or Disposal Site Bond
Overview
Get bonded and stay compliant with Illinois environmental law governing waste tire storage and disposal sites. Operating a waste tire site in Illinois without this bond puts your permit at risk and exposes you to enforcement action by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. This bond guarantees the state that your site will be managed in accordance with Illinois solid waste regulations, that tires will be stored and disposed of properly, and that any environmental harm or regulatory violation you cause will be remedied. Secure it before you open your gates.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you own or operate a waste tire storage or disposal site in Illinois — whether you accept scrap tires from the public, from retailers, from haulers, or from municipal collection events — you need this bond to hold your Illinois EPA permit. It applies to fixed storage sites, processing facilities, and disposal operations that handle waste tires at any scale requiring state environmental oversight. Without it, the Illinois EPA cannot issue or renew your site permit and you cannot legally accept tires.
What is this Bond For?
Waste tires are a regulated solid waste in Illinois, and this bond exists to protect the public and the environment from the hazards of improperly managed tire stockpiles — fire risk, mosquito breeding, and soil and groundwater contamination among them. It holds your operation financially accountable for following Illinois EPA storage and disposal standards, maintaining proper site conditions, and remediating any environmental damage caused by your facility. If you abandon a site or violate the terms of your permit, the bond gives the state a financial mechanism to fund cleanup and corrective action.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your Illinois waste tire site permit triggers a fresh look at your bond status — keep it active or face a gap in your permit coverage. This bond is required before the Illinois EPA will issue your initial site permit, and it must remain in continuous force for as long as you operate. If your site capacity changes or your permit terms are modified, the Illinois EPA may require a bond amount adjustment at that time as well.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Illinois requirement enforced by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. It applies to any waste tire storage or disposal site operating under Illinois EPA permit authority, regardless of which county the site is located in. There is no separate local version of this bond — one bond covers your Illinois-permitted site.
