Common use of Christmas Tree Collection Clause in Contracts

Christmas Tree Collection. As part of Yard Waste Collection services, the Contractor shall provide a separate Collection of live (cut) Christmas trees during each of the first three full weeks of January, at no extra cost to Customers. Collection services shall be provided on the same day of the week as the customer’s regular Refuse and Recycling Collection. Customers will be instructed by the City to set out “clean” Christmas trees only. Customers may not wrap trees in plastic bags and must remove all ornaments, tinsel and other foreign debris. Clean Christmas trees may then be set out next to carts, but only during the designated period. If a Christmas tree is set out and is not sufficiently clean (e.g., containing ornaments, tinsel, etc.), the Contractor should not collect and should attach an education tag to the tree with specific instructions about why it was not collected and how the Customer can still discard their tree (e.g., remove the contaminants, where it can be taken, etc.). The Contractor shall not mix other types of Refuse or inorganic materials with the Christmas trees or take any action to make the Christmas tree material unacceptable to the operators of the processing site.
