origin. Unless otherwise determined by County and Contractor, the Site Attendant will make <br /> the decision as to the acceptability and proper handling of said waste using guidelines <br /> established by the Orange County Department of Solid Waste Management. If the decision is <br /> made to refuse to accept hazardous waste based on the determination that the waste is <br /> commercial in origin (and therefore not Household Hazardous Waste), then County, Site <br /> Attendant, and Contractor will make every reasonable effort to divert eligible commercial <br /> hazardous waste into County's Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Program. <br /> b) Operational Hours and Holiday Schedule: HHW will be accepted at Orange County's HHW <br /> Collection Facility four days per week, each week. This "multi-day"per week program is <br /> intended to increase participation in County's HHW program, increase HHW program <br /> efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and to increase convenience of program for County <br /> citizens. The program shall be open to accept HHW from eligible participants during the <br /> following hours: Wednesday through Friday, 10 AM until 6 PM; Saturday 7:30 AM until 12 <br /> noon. County reserves the right to modify program hours as needed, and shall do so only <br /> after receiving the approval of Contractor. <br /> The holidays observed by the HHW Program shall coincide with the holidays observed by the <br /> Orange County Landfill. In general, the only holidays observed by the Orange County <br /> Landfill are Independence Day(4th of July), Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New <br /> Years Day(January 1). The HHW Program will not operate on days when the Orange <br /> County Landfill is closed due to a holiday or to special events such as emergencies, adverse <br /> weather conditions, or other reasons deemed appropriate by the Orange County Department <br /> of Solid Waste Management, the Orange County Manager, or the Orange County Board of <br /> County Commissioners. Exceptions to the regular operational hours of the multi-day per <br /> week program beyond those listed above shall be made only with prior written approval of <br /> County. <br /> c) Eligible Participants and Screening of Household Hazardous Waste Participants: Contractor <br /> shall accept and process HHW only from residents of one of the counties serviced by <br /> County's Household Hazardous Waste Program(presently Orange, Chatham, Durham, and <br /> Wake). Site Attendant shall screen each event participant and determine in which county the <br /> participant resides, and shall further determine that the waste brought by said participant is <br /> Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). Contractor shall present County with monthly reports <br /> on program participation and waste management by county of origin (see Section 4, <br /> subsection 1 for further details). <br /> County reserves the right to accept Household Hazardous Waste from residents of other <br /> jurisdictions, and/or to limit the jurisdictions from which County will accept HHW, and to <br /> limit the types of waste the program will accept. For example, County may, at some point in <br /> the future, choose to limit participation in the program to residents of Orange County only. If <br /> County chooses to limit participation, County will work with Contractor and Site Attendant <br /> to develop a system for screening residents and determining eligibility to participate in the <br /> program. <br /> 6 <br />
