Oregon Waste Tire Storage Site Bond
Overview
Running a waste tire storage site in Oregon without the right bond means your permit application goes nowhere. Oregon requires operators who store waste tires to post a surety bond before the state will authorize the facility — it's a financial guarantee that your site will be managed in compliance with Oregon's waste tire regulations and that tires will be properly handled, contained, and removed. If your operation causes a violation, creates an environmental hazard, or leaves tires abandoned, this bond gives the state a mechanism to recover cleanup and remediation costs. Get bonded, get permitted, get operating.
Who Needs This Bond?
Operators running a permitted waste tire storage facility in Oregon, businesses that accumulate large quantities of scrap tires awaiting processing or transport, and recycling operations that hold waste tires on-site before they move downstream all need this bond. If you are applying for or renewing an Oregon waste tire storage site permit through the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, this bond is a required part of your permit package. It applies to anyone storing tires in quantities that trigger the state's waste tire storage threshold — not just large commercial tire yards.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the public and the environment from the risks that come with large-scale tire storage — mosquito and rodent harborage, fire hazard, and the cost of cleaning up an abandoned or mismanaged site. Oregon DEQ is the protected party; if a permitted operator fails to manage the site according to state waste tire storage rules, removes tires improperly, or abandons the operation, the bond provides funds for the agency to compel or perform remediation. The bond holds the operator financially accountable for the full lifecycle of responsible tire storage, from day-to-day compliance through final site closure.
When is it Required?
Before Oregon DEQ will issue or renew a waste tire storage site permit, you must have this bond in place and submitted as part of your application. The bond requirement is triggered at the permitting stage — not after the fact. If you're expanding an existing storage site or modifying your permit to increase tire storage capacity, DEQ may also require you to update or increase your bond coverage. Don't wait until your permit renewal deadline to deal with it.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oregon requirement administered by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. It covers your permitted waste tire storage site wherever it is located within the state. There is no separate county or local bond for this permit — one bond filed with Oregon DEQ covers your facility statewide.
