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 $100, and no credit check.

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 $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
