About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the waste hauler bond guarantees

Wadena County licenses solid waste haulers under its Solid Waste Management Ordinance. The license is conditioned on a $5,000 surety bond naming the county as obligee, filed with the hauler’s application along with proof of insurance and the list of collection vehicles.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Wadena County (the obligee). The bond is conditioned on your compliance with the county’s solid waste rules — proper collection, transport, and disposal — and backs the county and the public if you violate them.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The county sets the amount; this bond is the $5,000 figure, which we issue at a flat 3% (landing at our $275 minimum) with no credit check.
