Disposal Fees Guarantee of Payment Bond - San Bernardino, CA in California

Brief Summary

Haulers and contractors who dump regularly at San Bernardino area landfills do not want to pay cash or card at the scale house on every load.

Detailed Information About the California Disposal Fees Guarantee of Payment Bond:

Why this bond exists

The San Bernardino County Solid Waste Management Division operates the county's disposal system of five regional landfills and nine transfer stations. Its published fee page says payment at the sites is by cash, Visa, MasterCard or as otherwise provided by ordinance. A business that wants to haul now and pay later on an invoice has to give the obligee some assurance that the bill will be paid. This bond is that assurance.

What it guarantees

The bond promises that the business will pay its disposal charges when billed. If the account goes unpaid, the obligee can make a claim against the bond up to its face amount. The surety pays valid claims and then collects the money back from the business. The bond is not insurance for the hauler, and it does not cap what the business owes.

What the fees look like

Disposal at county sites is charged by weight, with separate per ton rates for residential waste over 300 pounds, per tire charges, and add on fees for hard to handle and special handling loads. Uncovered or unsecured loads are charged double. The rates include the state fee, perchlorate surcharge and waste diversion program charges. Heavy users can run up a large balance in a single month, which is why a payment guarantee is asked for.

How much

The amount is set by the obligee for each account, not by a published flat figure. Ask for the required amount, the bond form and where to send the original before you buy.

Eligibility and Requirements for a California Disposal Fees Guarantee of Payment Bond:
