Version 2022.1 Muni 3.1 Location of Containers, Bags and Bundles for Collection. Each container, bag and bundle containing Waste Material shall be placed at curbside for collection. Curbside refers to that portion of right- of-way adjacent to paved or traveled City roadways. Containers, bags and bundles shall be placed as close to the roadway as practicable without interfering with or endangering the movement of vehicles or pedestrians. When construction work is being performed in the right-of-way, containers, bags and bundles shall be placed as close as practicable to an access point for the collection vehicle. Company may decline to collect any container, bag or bundle not so placed or any Waste Material not in a container, bag or bundle. 3.2 Days and Hours of Collection Operations. Collection Operations shall be on Wednesday of each week, unless there is a recognized holiday, in which case Collection Operations may be adjusted as needed. Collection of Waste Material shall not start before 7:00 A.M. or continue after 6:00 P.M. Exceptions to collection hours shall be affected only upon the mutual agreement of the City and Company, or when Company reasonably determines that an exception is necessary in order to complete collection on an existing collection route due to unusual circumstances. 3.3 Routes of Collection. Collection routes shall be established by the Company. Company shall submit the Residential Unit and Municipal Facility collection routes to the City at least two (2) weeks in advance of the commencement date for such route collection activity.

City shall promptly give written or published notice to the affected Residential Units. 3.4 Residential Collection. Company shall be obligated to collect no more than 6 containers (or their equivalent) per week from each Residential Unit.

The following shall be holidays for purposes of this Agreement: New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Company may suspend collection service on any of these holidays, but such decision in no manner relieves Company of its obligation to provide collection service that week. 3.6 Complaints.

All Waste Material that is marketable, collected within the City under this Agreement shall be deposited at a Refuse Derived Fuel processing facility designated by Ramsey County possessing the necessary permits and operated in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Any deviation of this provision shall be considered a violation and default of this Contract.
