Check the exemptions first

Not every truck carrying trash in Windsor needs a collector license. Sec. 8-9(b) of the Town Code says the license rules do not apply to persons hauling household refuse or recyclables from their own residences, to any business hauling refuse it generated itself, to farming or agricultural operations, to municipalities or public agencies, or to building contractors hauling solid waste generated by their own activities.

Everyone else who collects, hauls or transports solid waste, refuse or recyclable materials on a public highway in Windsor needs a current annual collector license. Sec. 8-1 defines a collector, also called a hauler, as any person or company in the business of collecting, transporting or removing solid waste or recyclables within the Town.

What the bond does

The Disposal of Refuse bond is $3,000 with the Town of Windsor as obligee. It is a guarantee from a surety company that the principal will follow the Town's rules on collecting and disposing of refuse. If the principal does not, the Town can make a claim against the bond to recover its loss, and the surety then looks to the principal to repay it.

Chapter 8 does not set a bond amount. Sec. 8-10(b) gives the Town Manager or designee authority to develop and implement regulations for the annual collector licensing program. Confirm the current bond form and filing steps with the Town before the bond is issued.

License basics under Chapter 8

The application goes to the Town Manager or designee on the Town of Windsor annual collector licensing application form. It asks for the names and addresses of the collector and its owners or partners, other towns served, the types of material collected, the transfer station or disposal facilities used, vehicle details, where vehicles are garaged, and residential route maps with service days.

The license fee is set in the Town of Windsor Price Guide. Each vehicle used for hauling needs its own Town permit, and vehicle doors must show the business name and address. Collections may only be made between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Licensed haulers report to the Town Manager or designee by July 31 each year on what they collected during the prior fiscal year and where it went.

Cost of the bond

The premium is a fraction of the $3,000 bond amount. The surety sets it after reviewing the owner's credit and the business history.
