Florida Solid Waste Disposal Bonds

In Florida, businesses that collect trash, recyclables, and any other kind of solid waste may be required to be licensed with the local government department that is in charge of solid waste disposal. To be eligible for licensure, and to maintain it, various Solid Waste Disposal Bonds are often mandated of the applicant as well. 

Jet Insurance Company provides Solid Waste Disposal Bonds to act as a financial assurance to the city or county regulator (e.g. Solid Waste Department or Division) that the licensee will follow all applicable regulations regarding the disposal of hazardous waste. If damages to public spaces or licensing and penalty charges go unpaid, the surety bond will act as a means of restitution for the government entity.

At Jet, the cost of a surety bond is a small percentage of the bond limit and is based on a soft credit check of the applicant. For bond limit’s over $50,000, an underwriter may require a review of the applicant’s business finances.

Our team offers Solid Waste Disposal Bonds for as low as $100 for a one-year bond term. Take a look at the chart below for examples of preferred credit tier rates at various bond limits.
