What Is a Colorado Waste Transporter Bond?
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division requires waste grease transporters to file a $10,000 surety bond.
Additionally, the Colorado Metro Water Recovery requires a surety bond and permit for any individual or company that routinely transports non-hazardous hauled wastes — including septic tanks, grease traps and privies — to a designated disposal location.
These surety bonds ensure that providers transport, haul, and dispose of grease and non-hazardous waste materials legally and safely. The bond contracts provide financial security to cover potential damages due to accidents, spills or improper disposals.

How Does a Colorado Waste Transporter Bond Work?
A Colorado waste hauler or waste transporter bond joins three parties in a legally-binding contract:
- Principal: The waste hauler/transporter
- Obligee: The government agency requiring the bond
- Surety: The surety bond provider
The obligee requires the bond from the principal (waste hauler) and the surety backs the principal’s obligation. If the bonded principal causes damages or breaks the bond terms, the bond acts as a line of credit to pay the obligee. However, the principal must reimburse the surety for any claims.
