Fairfax County, Virginia requires a solid waste disposal bond as a condition of operating as a hauler or facility under its solid waste program. The penal sum is set by the County's Department of Public Works & Environmental Services — pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, from a $100 minimum. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review at the standard amount — larger bond amounts add a credit-consent step on the form.
















Solid waste disposal bonds are straightforward. Here's the whole process:
Business details and the penal sum Fairfax County requires. No financials, and the application has no credit section.
Solid waste bonds at these amounts are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Fairfax County Public Works & Environmental Services. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A solid waste disposal bond is a compliance and performance guarantee to Fairfax County. The County wants assurance that haulers and facility operators handle, transport, and dispose of waste in line with County rules and don't leave the County to clean up after a default.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fairfax County, Virginia (the obligee). If you violate the solid waste program or fail to perform, the County can recover against the bond.
The bond stays on file while you operate. We track expirations and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your standing with Public Works & Environmental Services never lapses over a missed email.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't collect one.
