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 — we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
















Your disposal account is waiting on this bond. Here is the whole process — no broker phone tag:
Your business details, the bond amount the County set, the effective date, and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. That is the entire application.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with DEP to open or keep your disposal account. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure Montgomery County set and the premium updates.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
