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