Get the amount from the city first

Call the City of Stamford Office of Operations, which oversees refuse and recycling, and ask for the required amount and the bond form before you request a quote.

Who posts it

What it guarantees

The bond backs the business's promise to follow the city's solid waste rules and to pay disposal charges and any costs the city incurs because of a violation. If the business fails to do so, the city can claim against the bond, and the surety pays valid claims up to the bond amount. The business then repays the surety.

Premium

The premium is a fraction of the bond amount, set by the surety after reviewing the owner's credit and the business's history. Once the city gives you the amount, a quote is usually straightforward.
