About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the disposal charges bond actually covers

Brevard County operates landfill and transfer-station facilities through its Solid Waste Management department. Any commercial business that disposes of waste there must open a landfill gate account and make a security deposit in cash, a surety bond or a letter of credit, so unpaid disposal fees are covered.

The bond runs to Brevard County as obligee, standing behind the disposal charges on your account. If the account goes unpaid, the County can recover against the bond up to the bonded amount — the same protection a cash deposit would give it, funded for a fraction of the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on an unpaid account, you repay the surety. Account-holders who pay their disposal charges on time never see a claim — the bond simply keeps the gate account open.

Brevard County Code §94-277(b), as amended by Ord. No. 24-12 (2024)Section 94-277 requires any commercial entity that disposes of solid waste at the County’s solid waste management facilities to open a landfill gate account and make a security deposit. The deposit equals two months of estimated disposal fees, based on estimated tonnage and type of waste, or the minimum set by the Board’s special rate resolution. It may be cash, a surety bond or a letter of credit.
