All <br />calls relating to missed pick -ups or other collection problems shall be logged by County recycling <br />staff and will be available for review by Contractor. <br />If containers which were recorded by County as not collected by Contractor are not collected by <br />5:00 PM of the working day (including Monday through Friday, but not Saturdays, Sundays, or <br />designated holidays) following written or faxed notification of Contractor by County, County may <br />levy penalties equal to $25 per household per day not collected. To avoid the penalty, Contractor <br />must provide legitimate explanation for non - collection before 5:00 PM of the day following the <br />non - collection report if the container was unable to be collected for a certain reason. <br />If County receives a report of five (5) or more missed collections in one area on a working day that <br />is followed by a non - working day, Contractor will provide collection by 5:00 PM the following <br />day, excluding holidays. For example if County receives notification of 5 or more missed <br />collections on one street, or in one neighborhood at 4:30 PM on a Friday and notifies Contractor of <br />the reported misses by close of business on that Friday, Contractor will provide collection by 5:00 <br />PM on Saturday (assuming that Saturday is not a recognized holiday). <br />SECTION 13 <br />Refusal to Pick Up <br />Contractor may choose not to pick up if Recyclable Materials are contaminated or improperly <br />prepared (i.e., yogurt containers, newspapers in plastic bags, plastic bottles with lids). When and if <br />Recyclable Materials are not collected, a notice must be left accurately describing why the bin <br />contents were not collected. The form of said notice must be pre- approved by County. This notice <br />must contain instructions describing how to properly prepare materials for recycling and how to <br />contact County for further information about recycling programs. <br />In a situation where a street is inaccessible to the Contractor's collection vehicle due to a parked <br />vehicle, utility work, construction work, or any other obstruction rendering a roadway <br />completely or partially blocked, Contractor may attempt to service said street later that same day, <br />7 <br />12 <br />
