What it is and who needs it.
What the waste hauling bond actually covers
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. 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.
How to file it
File with DEEP or your counterparty. Submit the executed bond as part of your waste-transporter permit application or contract. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
