SECTION 8 Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, except as otherwise provided herein, furnish all labor and equipment required to perform collection of separated food waste and other compostable organic materials pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 9 In case of a missed pick-up reported by the County or a Generator, Contractor shall collect from the missed collection location within 24 hours or the next working day following notification if the Food Waste and other Compostables were properly prepared and accessible at regularly scheduled collection time. All calls relating to missed pick-ups shall be logged by Contractor and reported to County with the monthly invoice. The log book shall be available for inspection by the County. SECTION 10 Contractor may refuse to collect if a Generator does not properly separate Food Waste materials, or if the Food Waste Collection Containers are inaccessible.
