Connecticut regulates waste transporters through the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) under CGS 22a-454. Where a surety bond is the financial-responsibility security a hauler is asked to post, the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price shows at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard waste bond — enter your amount, pay, and deliver the executed bond. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount you were asked for, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No waiting for most applicants — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. The application collects no credit information; larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond as part of your waste-transporter permit application or contract. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Anyone in the business of transporting hazardous waste, waste oil, petroleum or chemical liquids, biomedical waste, or other Connecticut-regulated waste must hold a transporter permit from DEEP under CGS 22a-454 and the related regulations. These permits turn on financial responsibility — proof that the hauler can stand behind its obligations.
One honest note. DEEP's transporter program generally satisfies financial responsibility through insurance, and a flat statewide surety-bond mandate is not the universal rule for every transporter. A surety bond shows up where a specific permit, a clean-up or spill-contractor requirement, a municipal contract, or a counterparty asks for one. We won't imply a blanket bond mandate that may not apply to you.
Where a surety bond is what you were asked for, it guarantees your performance and your environmental obligations — if you fail and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Confirm the exact amount and the obligee with DEEP or your counterparty first, then we price it at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information, and on the rare bond where a check does run, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the application with the bond amount you were asked for — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to deliver.
