What it is and who needs it.
What the solid waste bond covers
The Town of North Hempstead licenses commercial carters under Chapter 46 of the Town Code. No one may contract for the collection or disposal of acceptable waste in the Town with a person required to be licensed unless that person holds the license — and commercial property owners, tenants, and managing agents are on the hook for using a licensed carter. Applications and renewals run through the Town Clerk, and the Town takes a bond with the license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of North Hempstead (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the chapter — the licensing, routing, reporting, and fee obligations that keep waste out of unpermitted hands and keep the Town whole if a carter defaults.
It is not insurance for you — if the Town collects on the bond, you repay the surety. The license has to stay continuously bonded, and this bond runs on statutory renewal dates, so we track your term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Town. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your solid waste hauling and disposal license application through the North Hempstead Town Clerk. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
