Pinellas grease hauler bonds.
$100 flat.

Pinellas County requires a fixed $10,000 bond to permit a grease waste hauler — the operators who collect grease trap and FOG (fats, oils, and grease) waste from restaurants and businesses. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, the same for every hauler.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Pinellas County permits grease waste haulers — operators who pump and transport grease trap and FOG waste from restaurants, kitchens, and businesses — and conditions that permit on a $10,000 bond. The bond runs in favor of Pinellas County (the obligee, the party the bond is made out to) and must stay in force for the life of the three-year permit.

It stands behind the hauler’s obligation to collect, transport, and dispose of grease waste properly under the county’s rules — no illegal dumping, proper manifesting, and disposal only at approved sites. If a hauler discharges waste in violation of those rules, the bond guarantees the disposal costs, fees, fines and damages that result.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who follow the county’s grease rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Pinellas County grease waste hauler permitPinellas County Code § 126-615(5) requires $10,000 in financial assurance, in a form acceptable to the County, for the life of the three-year permit (§ 126-614); the Grease Waste Hauler Permit Application (rev. 3/19/2019), Section B, asks for a $10,000 surety bond in favor of Pinellas County.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
