For example if County receives notification of five or more missed collections on one street, or in one neighborhood at 4:30 pm on a Friday and notifies Contractor of the reported misses by close of business on that Friday, Contractor will provide F collection by 5:00 pm on Saturday (assuming that Saturday is not a recognized holiday).
