Page 8 5.1.General Collection and Disposal The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment and perform all work for the weekly Collection and disposal of Yard Waste as a subscription-based program from approximately April through November each year. Eligible Customers may subscribe for regular Yard Waste Collection service and receive a large (approximately 95-gallon) Yard Waste Cart. Yard waste including leaves, grass clipping, and twigs shall be collected in Contractor provided Yard Waste containers, brown paper lawn and leaf bags, or certified Compostable Bags. Small branches will be collected at no extra charge as long as the branches are less than four inches in diameter and less than four feet long. The Contractor must provide to existing and potential subscribers proposed prices for Yard Waste cart service, which includes an additional overflow of five Compostable Bags for Yard Waste. A price per bag for each bag over the five overflow bag limit must be included. Customers are to contact the Contractor for Collection of additional bags. The Contractor must identify their proposed Composting Facility or Yard Waste transfer station to be utilized. This Contract requires Yard Waste collected from St. Anthony to be kept separate from other materials. Weight or cubic yard totals from St. Anthony Yard Waste loads shall be reported to the City. The Contractor shall retain Yard Waste load tickets (e.g., scale tickets) for City inspection upon request. 5.2.Frequency of Collection The Contractor shall provide weekly Yard Waste Collection April 1 through November 30, and as requested by the City. The City retains the right to modify these dates slightly, depending upon the weather. 5.3.Christmas Tree Collection As part of Yard Waste Collection services, the Contractor shall provide a separate Collection of live (cut) Christmas trees during each of the first three full weeks of January, at no extra cost to Customers. Collection services shall be provided on the same day of the week as the customer’s regular Refuse and Recycling Collection. Customers will be instructed by the City to set out “clean” Christmas trees only. Customers may not wrap trees in plastic bags and must remove all ornaments, tinsel and other foreign debris. Clean Christmas trees may then be set out next to carts, but only during the designated period. If a Christmas tree is set out and is not sufficiently clean (e.g., containing ornaments, tinsel, etc.), the Contractor should not collect and should attach an education tag to the tree with specific instructions about why it was not collected and how the Customer can still discard their tree (e.g., remove the contaminants, where it can be taken, etc.). The Contractor shall not mix other types of Refuse or inorganic materials with the Christmas trees or take any action to make the Christmas tree material unacceptable to the operators of the processing site. 123
