Frequently Asked Questions

  • What insurance is required for waste hauling companies?

Waste hauling companies typically need commercial auto insurance, general liability, workers compensation, and pollution liability coverage. Many municipal contracts also require umbrella policies and specific endorsements.

  • Why is pollution liability important for recycling businesses?

Pollution liability protects against claims related to environmental contamination, spills, and hazardous material exposure. Waste and recycling companies face elevated environmental risks that standard liability policies may not cover.

  • Does commercial auto cover garbage trucks and roll off vehicles?

Yes. Commercial auto insurance covers garbage trucks, roll off trucks, and other fleet vehicles for accidents, property damage, and bodily injury claims.


  • What is environmental impairment liability?

Environmental impairment liability covers cleanup costs, third party injury claims, and property damage resulting from pollution events or hazardous waste operations.
