What the franchise bond actually guarantees
The City of Daphne, in Baldwin County, grants franchises for solid waste collection within the city. A hauler operating under the city's annual franchise agreement is typically required to post a bond as a condition of the franchise.
The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee to the City: it stands behind your obligation to collect waste on the terms of the franchise and to pay the City any franchise fees, penalties, or amounts owed under the agreement. If you default, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Haulers who perform the franchise and pay their fees on time treat the bond as a contract formality. We issue it at a flat 3% with a single soft credit pull.
