The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County regulates the collection, transport, and disposal of grease trap waste from restaurants and other food establishments to protect the sewer system and public health. A permitted hauler pumps the grease interceptors and trucks the waste to an approved facility — and Metro conditions that permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Metropolitan Government (the obligee). If a hauler dumps illegally, damages the system, or otherwise violates the terms of the hauler permit, Metro 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 permit conditions treat the bond as a routine licensing cost. We issue the amount Metro set at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount Metro set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
