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 />
