What it is and who needs it.
What the performance bond actually covers
Fulton County permits private solid waste collection and disposal, and conditions a hauler permit on a performance bond — commonly $10,000. It is a performance guarantee: it backs your obligation to collect and dispose of waste in compliance with your permit and the County solid waste ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fulton County (the obligee). If you fail to perform under the permit — abandoning routes, dumping improperly, or otherwise violating the code — the County can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who run compliant routes treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk. We issue the amount the County set, priced at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, with no credit check up to $100,000 on the application.

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 Fulton County. Submit the executed performance bond with your solid waste permit application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.
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.
