About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the refuse collector bond covers

Berkeley County permits refuse collectors and haulers who operate within the county and conditions that permit or franchise on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond runs to the County as obligee and stands behind your compliance with the County's solid-waste collection rules.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Berkeley County (the obligee). If a hauler violates the County's collection rules and the County or a customer suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond up to $2,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who collect and dispose to County standards treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue it at a flat $275 with no credit check.
