New Mexico Scrap Tire Hauler Bond
Overview
Hauling scrap tires in New Mexico without this bond means you cannot legally operate under the state's solid waste and scrap tire management program. New Mexico requires registered scrap tire haulers to post a surety bond before the New Mexico Environment Department will issue or renew your hauler registration. This bond puts real financial accountability behind your commitment to transport scrap tires only to approved processors, recyclers, or disposal facilities — not to illegal dump sites or unauthorized stockpiles. It protects New Mexico's environment and the public from the costs of tire fire hazards, mosquito-breeding waste piles, and contamination tied to improper disposal.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you collect, transport, or haul scrap tires for hire anywhere in New Mexico, you need this bond before the New Mexico Environment Department will register your business as a scrap tire hauler. This applies whether you are an independent tire hauler, a fleet operator, or a tire retailer who picks up and moves scrap tires from other locations. You need it whether you haul occasionally or run daily routes. No registration, no legal operation — and no registration without this bond on file.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you, as a registered New Mexico scrap tire hauler, will comply with all state scrap tire management rules — transporting tires only to permitted facilities, maintaining required manifests and records, and avoiding illegal dumping. If you abandon a load, dump tires unlawfully, or leave a site contaminated, the New Mexico Environment Department or an affected party can file a claim against the bond to cover cleanup, remediation, and regulatory penalties. The bond does not protect you — it protects the state, the environment, and the public from the financial fallout of hauler noncompliance.
When is it Required?
Your scrap tire hauler registration must remain current throughout your operating period, which means this bond must stay active as long as you are hauling scrap tires in New Mexico. If your bond lapses, your registration is in jeopardy and you risk operating illegally. Renewals are a recurring obligation — plan ahead so your bond term does not expire before your registration does. If you are a new hauler, the bond must be in place before you submit your registration application to the New Mexico Environment Department.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide New Mexico requirement. It covers your scrap tire hauling operations anywhere within New Mexico's borders, regardless of which county or municipality you pick up or drop off in. The obligee is the State of New Mexico through the New Mexico Environment Department, and the bond is a condition of your statewide hauler registration — not a local permit.
