Montgomery County solid waste bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Before it lets a hauler or business run a charge account at its solid-waste facilities, Montgomery County can require a bond guaranteeing payment of disposal charges. The County's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) sets the amount — your price is exactly 2% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, shown at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the solid waste disposal bond actually guarantees
Montgomery County operates its transfer station and solid-waste facilities through its Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). 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. Montgomery 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 DEP sets is generally tied to your expected disposal volume and the charges it covers.
