About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A rubbish hauler bond is a compliance and public-property guarantee. When you collect refuse within the City of Bowling Green, the city wants a financial backstop that you follow its hauling rules and don't leave streets, alleys, or property damaged or littered.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bowling Green (the obligee). If a hauler violates the city's refuse rules or damages public or private property in the course of collection, the city or harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who follow the city rules treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Bowling Green rubbish hauler bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. The bond amount is $5,000, and 3% of that is $150, below our $275 floor, so the price is $275. Same for every hauler, every term.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the city if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many haulers finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Bowling Green's clerk or public works office, with your refuse hauler license application. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
