What it is and who needs it.
What the collection bond actually covers
Fairfax County regulates the private companies that collect residential and commercial refuse within its borders, and requires them to be licensed through its Solid Waste Management Program. The license is conditioned on a bond that backs the collector's compliance with County solid waste rules and the fees it owes.
It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fairfax County (the obligee). The bond stands behind your obligation to operate within the County's collection ordinance and to pay the disposal or license fees tied to your operation.
It is not insurance for you. If the County has a valid claim and the surety pays it, you repay the surety. Licensed collectors who keep their accounts current and operate within the ordinance treat the bond as a license formality.
