Michigan Registered Scrap Tire Collection Site Performance Bond
Overview
Operating a registered scrap tire collection site in Michigan means you are accountable to the state for every tire that comes through your gate. Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) requires this performance bond as proof that your site will be managed in full compliance with state scrap tire regulations. If tires pile up improperly, contamination occurs, or the site is abandoned without cleanup, this bond gives the state a financial backstop to cover remediation costs. Get bonded before you open your gates — no bond means no registration.
Who Needs This Bond?
Scrap tire collection site operators, salvage yards that accept end-of-life tires, and tire retailers or auto service businesses registered to hold tires in volume for transfer or processing all need this bond. Any Michigan business that operates a site where scrap tires are collected, stored, or staged for transport to a processor must carry it. If EGLE has told you that a performance bond is required to complete your registered scrap tire collection site application, this is the exact bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your registered scrap tire collection site will be operated according to Michigan's scrap tire management rules — proper storage, legal disposal, site maintenance, and timely cleanup. EGLE and the public are the protected parties. If your operation creates a tire stockpile that becomes a mosquito breeding ground or fire hazard, or if you close the site without removing tires and restoring the property, EGLE can call on this bond to fund the corrective work. The bond does not protect you — it protects Michigan's environment and the state agency overseeing your registration.
When is it Required?
When you submit your application for a registered scrap tire collection site to EGLE, the bond is one of the required documents you must provide before registration is approved. You cannot legally accept scrap tires at a registered collection site in Michigan until the bond is in place and the state has confirmed it meets their requirements. Have the bond ready before your application is finalized — do not wait until after submission to start the process.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Michigan requirement. Every registered scrap tire collection site operating anywhere in Michigan — regardless of county — must carry this bond as a condition of EGLE registration. The bond obligation follows Michigan law and is enforced by EGLE across the entire state.
