What it is and who needs it.
What the landfill use bond actually guarantees
Frederick County operates its landfill and transfer stations through its Division of Solid Waste Management. When a hauler or business runs a charge account rather than paying at the scale, the County can require a bond guaranteeing those disposal charges are paid.
The bond is a payment guarantee: it stands behind the tipping fees and disposal charges you run up on your account. Frederick County (the obligee) can draw on the bond if you fail to pay, so the County is not left collecting an unpaid solid-waste balance.
It is not insurance for you. If the County draws on the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The amount the County sets is generally tied to your expected disposal volume and the charges it covers.

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.
