Garbage Hauler Insurance

Garbage Hauler

Sanitation and waste hauling fleets face unique risks every day — tight routes, heavy equipment, employee injury exposure, and high public visibility. Whether you operate under municipal contract or serve private commercial clients, The Truckers Insurance provides the tailored protection your waste operation needs to stay insured, compliant, and competitive.

Comprehensive Insurance for the Solid Waste Industry


We insure a broad range of garbage haulers, including:


  • Residential curbside collection fleets

  • Commercial front-load and roll-off operations

  • Transfer station and landfill haulers

  • Municipal sanitation contractors

  • Recycling and compost transporters


Key coverages include:


  • Auto Liability with high-limit CSL options for urban exposure

  • Physical Damage for refuse trucks, roll-offs, and front-loaders

  • General Liability for operations at customer locations or disposal sites

  • Workers’ Compensation with class codes specific to sanitation

We partner with A+ rated insurance carriers that specialize in the waste sector — ensuring accurate underwriting, competitive pricing, and the ability to handle complex fleet schedules and equipment types.

Compliance & Contract Support

  • Municipal contracts and RFPs
