Washington Registered Waste Tire Carrier Bond
Overview
Scrap tire carriers operating in Washington State are required to post a surety bond as part of their registration with the Washington State Department of Ecology. This bond holds registered waste tire carriers accountable for the lawful collection, transport, and delivery of waste tires to approved facilities — keeping illegal dumping and environmental harm off the table. Carriers who haul scrap tires without this bond in force are not legally registered to operate in Washington. Bond Titan makes it fast to get bonded and get back on the road.
Who Needs This Bond?
You haul scrap tires in Washington and you need your Ecology registration before you can legally move a single load. Any business or sole operator who collects, transports, or delivers waste tires in Washington State and seeks registration as a Registered Waste Tire Carrier must carry this bond. That includes haulers who service tire retailers, auto dealers, fleet maintenance shops, and tire recyclers across the state. If Ecology is asking for your bond number, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
Washington's waste tire program exists to prevent tires from being stockpiled illegally or dumped on roadsides, in wetlands, or on private property — all of which create fire hazards and mosquito breeding grounds. This bond guarantees that registered carriers will comply with Washington's waste tire regulations, transport tires only to approved processors or facilities, and answer for cleanup costs and violations if they don't. The Washington State Department of Ecology and the public are the protected parties if a carrier abandons a load or dumps illegally. The bond gives Ecology enforceable financial recourse, not just paperwork.
When is it Required?
Before Ecology will issue or renew your Registered Waste Tire Carrier registration, this bond must already be in place — no bond, no registration, no legal operation. Hauling waste tires in Washington without a current registration exposes you to enforcement action by the Department of Ecology. The bond must remain continuously in force for your registration to stay valid; a lapse kills your legal standing to haul. Don't wait until the renewal notice lands — buy the bond now and keep your operation compliant.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Washington requirement and covers all waste tire carrier operations conducted anywhere within Washington State. It is issued to satisfy the Washington State Department of Ecology's registration program, not a county or local health permit. Wherever in Washington you haul waste tires, this bond must be on file with Ecology.
