12 <br />d) Special Collection Events: County may, with Contractor's approval, hold special HHW <br />collection events such as extended Saturday collections or satellite collection events. In the <br />case of special events, transportation, disposal, labor, and supplies provided by the Contractor <br />shall be billed at the rates listed in Appendix A unless otherwise agreed by County and <br />Contractor. If permits or other approvals are required in order to hold a special event such as <br />a satellite collection event, County may request Contractor's assistance in seeking said <br />permits or approval, and if assistance is provided Contractor may bill County accordingly for <br />labor. <br />When and if the County operates its HHW Program at times other than those regularly <br />scheduled for the multi-day per program (as determined in Section 4, subsection b), and <br />Contractor and County determine that additional personnel are needed to screen event <br />participants or manage accepted waste, Contractor shall provide additional personnel as <br />needed to manage waste and bill County accordingly for labor. County may provide <br />personnel to perform participant screening, or may request that Contractor provide personnel <br />to perform screening and bill County accordingly for labor. <br />e) Reuse and Other Diversion: County may require Contractor to accept and then segregate <br />certain items for purposes other than processing and / or disposal by Contractor. <br />• Reuse Programs: In an effort to reduce hazardous waste disposal costs and to facilitate the <br />reuse of collected materials before recycling or other disposition, County may operate <br />several reuse programs parallel with the HHW program. If waste received by the <br />Contractor at County's facility is deemed reusable, County may ask Contractor to direct <br />certain reusable items to a reuse program such as a "Reuse Shelf' or a "Paint Exchange." <br />These reusable items will be made available for program participants and county citizens <br />to reuse rather than being sent with Contractor for disposal /management. Items directed <br />to the a reuse program may include, but are not limited to, paint, unopened items, aerosols <br />such as paints or lubricants, and / or other items that are determined to be of low toxicity <br />and have potential reuse value, such as household cleaners, motor oil, other automotive <br />fluids, fertilizer, furniture finishes, etc. County and Contractor shall jointly decide what <br />items are to be directed to the reuse programs. Site Attendant shall provide assistance to <br />reuse programs when possible. Contractor may not unreasonably refuse to direct items to <br />the reuse programs. Any individual or institution wishing to take possession of any item <br />with hazardous properties that has been directed to a reuse program must sign an <br />approved Release of Liability, the language of which shall be approved by County and <br />Contractor. <br />• Other Diversion: County may also ask Contractor to separate other items beyond those <br />listed above and direct these items to other diversion programs run by the County. Items <br />that may be directed to other County programs include but are not limited to propane <br />tanks, other cylinders, clean (otherwise uncontaminated) used motor oil, dry cell batteries, <br />lead acid batteries, and computers and electronic equipment. <br />7 <br />
