Overweight Containers Clause Samples
The Overweight Containers clause sets out the rules and responsibilities regarding shipping containers that exceed specified weight limits. Typically, it outlines the maximum allowable weight for containers, assigns liability for any overweight charges or penalties, and may require the party responsible for loading to ensure compliance with legal and contractual weight restrictions. This clause helps prevent regulatory violations, reduces the risk of damage to transport equipment, and allocates responsibility for costs or consequences arising from overweight shipments.
Overweight Containers. The Company may refuse to collect any Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, or Green Waste Container which the Company reasonably believes to be overweight. A container shall be considered “overweight” if the total weight of the container and contents exceeds two times the volume capacity of said container (e.g., 192 pounds for a 96-gallon Cart). The Company shall provide notification to the customer regarding each instance of non-collection.
Overweight Containers. Bins and roll-off boxes shall have a maximum weight capacity posted on the side of the container. Customers who overload commercial containers beyond the posted weight and/or capacity shall be liable for any additional fees and/or fines that may be incurred by Contractor during loading, transport and disposal of such containers.
Overweight Containers. Contractor is not obligated to collect Containers weighing over fifty (50) pounds each. If the Contractor elects not to collect an overweight container a tag shall be affixed to the Container identifying this as the reason it was not collected.
