What it is and who needs it.
What the solid waste hauler bond covers
The City of Norwalk requires anyone who collects and hauls solid waste or refuse in the city to be licensed, and conditions that license on a surety bond. It is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your operating within the city’s solid waste ordinance.
The bond runs to the City of Norwalk as obligee. If a hauler dumps improperly, abandons collection obligations, or otherwise violates the city’s solid waste rules and causes a loss, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Licensed haulers who follow the city’s disposal rules treat the bond as a license formality. Premiums start from $100; no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
