What is a Georgia Tire Carrier Bond?

A quick to this important requirement for tire carriers in Georgia!

The improper management of scrap tires has caused a great strain on the environment. Over a billion scrap tires rest in various stockpiles due to illegal dumping. This can be a catalyst for different problems such as fire and mosquito-related illnesses.

 

To prevent these detrimental outcomes, the State of Georgia obligates tire carriers to submit a surety bond.

 

A surety bond is a requirement needed for the issuance of a tire carrier permit. It will serve as a guarantee to the Environmental Protection Division of Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources that the tire carrier will perform his or her duties according to the provisions of the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act such as:

  • Recycling, chopping, and shredding of scrap tires in an environment-friendly manner before disposal
  • Submit a report to the Environmental Protection Division on the number of scrap tires disposed of and how they were disposed
  • Storing 100 or fewer scrap tires within Georgia


What is the Tire Carrier Bond amount?

The bond amount varies. It will be determined by Georgia’s Director of the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources.

 

However, the bond amount will not be less than $10,000, or more than $20,000.
