Fulton County, GA Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Performance Bond
Overview
Fulton County requires solid waste collection and disposal operators to post this performance bond before hauling, collecting, or disposing of solid waste within county limits. It protects Fulton County residents, the environment, and the county government from the financial consequences of improper waste handling, illegal dumping, or failure to meet the county's solid waste management requirements. Operators who don't perform to standard put the bond on the line — and the bond makes the county whole if they don't.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you collect, haul, or dispose of solid waste under a Fulton County permit or franchise agreement, this bond is a condition of doing business in the county. Residential and commercial waste haulers, construction debris collectors, and any solid waste contractor operating under county authorization will be required to file this bond before work begins. Without it, Fulton County will not issue or renew your solid waste operating permit.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you will collect and dispose of solid waste in full compliance with Fulton County's solid waste management regulations. If you abandon routes, dump waste illegally, fail to properly dispose of waste at licensed facilities, or leave a site contaminated, the bond gives Fulton County the financial backstop to pursue a claim and recover costs. It is a performance guarantee — not insurance for your equipment or business.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your Fulton County solid waste operating permit triggers the same bond requirement every cycle — lapsed coverage means lapsed authority to operate. First-time applicants must have the bond in place before the county issues the permit. Any change in your business structure, hauling routes, or authorized disposal sites may require the county to verify that your bond remains current and in force.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond covers solid waste collection and disposal activity within Fulton County, Georgia only. It is a local county requirement, not a Georgia state license bond, and it carries no authority or coverage in any other county or municipality. If you operate under separate permits in other Georgia jurisdictions, each may have its own bonding requirement.
