Contaminated Recyclable Materials Sample Clauses
The 'Contaminated Recyclable Materials' clause defines the rules and responsibilities regarding recyclable materials that have been tainted with substances making them unsuitable for standard recycling processes. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes contamination, such as the presence of food waste, hazardous chemicals, or non-recyclable items mixed with recyclables, and may specify procedures for handling, reporting, or disposing of such materials. Its core practical function is to ensure that only clean, acceptable materials enter the recycling stream, thereby reducing processing costs, preventing environmental harm, and clarifying liability for improper recycling practices.
Contaminated Recyclable Materials. The CONTRACTOR shall not collect Recyclable Materials that are significantly contaminated with non-Recyclable Materials. The CONTRACTOR shall leave a Non-Collection Notice explaining why the material in the Recycling Cart was not collected and shall advise the Town that day of the non- collection. The CONTRACTOR shall not collect the Recyclable Materials until the Residential Service Unit segregates the Recyclable Materials from the contaminating material. The TOWN shall approve the design of said notice, and the cost of printing said notice shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain a record of the address of any Residential Service Unit where Recyclable Materials were not collected, the date of non-collection, and the reason they were not collected, to be provided to the TOWN upon request.
Contaminated Recyclable Materials. The CONTRACTOR shall not be required to collect Recyclable Materials from Residential Service Units if the customer does not segregate the Recyclable Materials from Residential Solid Waste. If Recyclable Materials are contaminated through commingling with Residential Solid Waste, the CONTRACTOR shall, if practical, separate the Residential Solid Waste from the Recyclable Materials. The Recyclable Materials shall then be collected and the Residential Solid Waste shall be left in the Recycling Bin or Recycling Cart along with a Non-Collection Notice of why the Residential Solid Waste is not considered a Recyclable Material. However, in the event the Recyclable Materials and Residential Solid Waste are commingled to the extent that they cannot easily be separated by the CONTRACTOR, or the nature of the Residential Solid Waste renders the entire Recycling Bin or Recycling Cart contaminated, the CONTRACTOR shall leave the Recycling Bin or Recycling Cart un-emptied and issue a Non-Collection Notice to the customer containing instructions on the proper procedures for setting out Recyclable Materials. The design of said notice shall be approved by the CITY, and the cost of printing said notice shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR. However, the CONTRACTOR shall not collect the Recyclable Materials until the Residential Service Unit segregates the Recyclable Materials from Residential Solid Waste. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain a record of the address of any Residential Service Unit where Recyclable Materials were not collected, the date of non-collection, and the reason they were not collected, to be provided to the CITY upon request.
Contaminated Recyclable Materials. As of February 1, 2019, the effective date of this Second Amended and Restated Agreement, through June 30, 2020, City shall compensate Contractor for the processing of contaminated commercial Recyclable Materials at a flat annual rate of Two Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand Dollars ($234,000), which is based on the assumption that 2,600 tons of commercial recyclables will be processed as contaminated recyclables per fiscal year until the end of fiscal year 2020 at a fee of $90 per ton (adjusted annually by CPI starting in rate period 11, fiscal year 2019/20). Although the number of commercial customers and tons subject to the contaminated recyclables collection may fluctuate, the fee will remain flat until the end of fiscal year 2021. Starting July 1, 2021, fiscal year 2020/21, the compensation will be based on actual tons of contaminated Recyclable Materials collected.
