What Is the Bond?
In Florida, waste tire handling is strictly regulated to prevent environmental contamination and fire hazards. The bond acts as a financial assurance that the permit holder will properly manage, transport, and dispose of tires according to state law.
The bond creates a legal guarantee between three parties:
- Principal – You, the waste tire transporter or facility operator
- Obligee – Florida – Orange County Solid Waste Division
- Surety – Propeller Bonds

Who Needs It?
This applies to businesses involved in waste tire management in Florida.
This bond is typically required for:
- Waste Tire Transporters hauling more than 25 tires at once
- Tire Storage Facilities accumulating scrap tires for processing
- Recycling Centers handling large volumes of waste tires
- Any hauler seeking a permit or registration in Orange County
