What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
