telephone, fax, or in person) before 4:30 pm of that day. If Contractor fails to notify County <br />of areas that are not able to be collected due to inaccessibility by 4:30 pm of the day the area <br />is scheduled to be serviced, County may assess penalties equal to $25 per household not <br />collected. <br />When County receives a report of a missed collection from a Resident of an area that was not <br />serviced due to inaccessibility, County will instruct the Resident to leave their Recyclable <br />Materials at the curbside /roadside and to expect collection either later during their <br />scheduled service day or no later than 5:00 pm of the next working day (assuming that the <br />roadway is no longer inaccessible). <br />Contractor will provide collection of an area not serviced due to inaccessibility by 5:00 pm of <br />the next working day. In the ease of ongoing construction or blockage, recycling collection may <br />be temporarily suspended. In this case Residents will be notified by County that curbside <br />recycling must be suspended until construction is complete or the cause of the inaccessibility is <br />removed. Decisions to cancel curbside recycling service will be made by County with input <br />from Contractor. County may request and receive reduction in fees charged by Contractor for <br />services when cancellation affects an area with 25 or more Residences for more than one <br />consecutive service date. <br />If an area is inaccessible to the standard collection vehicle, but said area is not blocked due to <br />construction or some other obstacle, County may require Contractor to provide service from a <br />smaller collection vehicle, i.e. a pick-up truck. County may only require this of Contractor <br />when there are no other reasonable options for provision of Recycling Collection Service. An <br />example where County may require Contractor to provide service from apick-up truck might be <br />the case of a public street in Chapel Hill that is too narrow to accommodate safe passage of the <br />standard recycling collection vehicle. Use of a pick-up truck by Contractor for the collection of <br />..Recyclable Materials shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Contractor will not be <br />required to provide recycling collection services in private alleys not built to Town standards <br />such as the private alleys in Southern Village. <br />SECTION 14 <br />Processing Center <br />Contractor may maintain a Processing Center at its facilities located in the City of Durham, the City <br />of Raleigh or at other locations. All Recyclable Materials collected from Residents may be <br />processed at the Processing Center. Title to Recyclable Materials brought to the Processing Center <br />shall be with Contractor, and Contractor shall have the responsibility for the sale of such Recyclable <br />Materials. Storage of Recyclable Materials at the Processing Center shall be limited to that which <br />can be properly contained pursuant to permits issued by the responsible jurisdiction. Contractor <br />shall notify County, in writing, not less than thirty (30) days prior to any relocation of the <br />Processing or Drop-Off Center. <br />County shall not seek to claim ownership of Recyclable Materials during the Initial Term of this <br />Contract. If, after the initial term of this Contract, County elects to operate its own recycling <br />processing center, or elects to have the recyclables collected under this Contract diverted to any <br />12 <br />
