About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the disposal charges bond actually guarantees

Orange County landfills and transfer stations serve account customers as well as customers who pay at the scale. In 2014 and 2016 memos to the Board of County Commissioners, Orange County Utilities said the County requires Solid Waste Division credit customers to keep a deposit at all times, and accepts cash, a bond or a letter of credit. A disposal charges bond is the bond form of that deposit: it backs the tipping and disposal fees you run up on account.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Orange County (the obligee, the party the bond protects). If you fall behind on your disposal account, the County can recover the unpaid charges against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Unlike a cash deposit, a bond leaves your cash in your business. We issue the amount the County set, priced from $100 — the application collects no credit information.

Orange County Utilities memos to the BCC, June 24, 2014 and April 5, 2016Orange County Utilities Department memos for the Board of County Commissioners' consent agendas of June 24, 2014 and April 5, 2016: “Orange County requires Utilities Solid Waste Division credit customers to maintain a deposit in the amount of three (3) times the average monthly charge for the previous twelve (12) months history at all times. The acceptable forms of deposit are cash, bond or letter of credit.” We found no later County code section, page or form that restates the policy.

How much is the Orange County disposal charges bond?The bond is priced at 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount is the deposit the Solid Waste Division sets for your account. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.

Why post a bond for a disposal account?Under the 2014 and 2016 memos, credit customers keep a deposit, and a bond is one of three accepted forms, with cash and a letter of credit. The bond guarantees the County gets paid for the disposal charges you run up. If you fall behind, the County can claim against the bond.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

What amount should I enter?Use the deposit figure the Solid Waste Division gives you. The 2014 and 2016 memos set it at three times your average monthly charge for the previous twelve months and give no rule for a new account. Those memos are the only County source we found, so check the current rule with the division before you buy.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
