An essential part of any landfill financial plan is a provision for financial assurance of closure and post-closure activities. A landfill bonds or landfill surety bond is the most popular instrument for guaranteeing a landfill’s ability to meet its long term responsibilities. What does a surety company look for when we underwrite a landfill bond request? Primarily we want to see a fiscally healthy operation, responsible operating practices, and key personnel that are capable of managing a landfill closure. Good landfill operators manage landfills and closures in a manner that drastically minimizes post-closure maintenance AND respects the health of the communities around the site. These surety bonds are onerous, long term, non-cancelable and can represent very large exposures to a surety company.
