MO landfill closure bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Missouri requires a financial-assurance instrument — a surety bond is one accepted form — guaranteeing the cost to close and care for a solid-waste disposal area, under RSMo 260.200–260.345 and 10 CSR 80-2.030 through the Department of Natural Resources. The amount is your approved cost estimate; we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the financial-assurance bond covers
Missouri regulates solid-waste disposal areas under RSMo 260.200–260.345, implemented by the Department of Natural Resources in 10 CSR 80-2.030. Before a permit issues, the owner or operator must submit a financial-assurance instrument (FAI) guaranteeing the cost of closure, and for sanitary landfills post-closure care, so the public never has to pay to close an abandoned site.
A surety bond is one of the accepted FAIs (alongside cash, a letter of credit, a trust fund, or a corporate guarantee). The bond amount equals the DNR-approved closure and post-closure cost estimate, and the instrument must be irrevocable — it cannot be cancelled, released, or allowed to terminate without department approval until you are released from your responsibilities.
The cost estimate is adjusted each year for inflation, so the bond amount can step up over time. Enter your approved figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull. If the surety pays to close or maintain the site, you repay the surety.
