§ 7-200. Spillage.

The contractor shall not be responsible for scattered refuse unless the same has been caused by its acts or those of any of its employees; in which case, all scattered refuse shall be picked up immediately by the contractor. A fork, push broom, and a scoop-type shovel shall be maintained on each truck for cleanup activity. The contractor shall, if necessary, hand clean all spillage resulting from its collection activities. The City, at its discretion, may inspect the contractor's vehicles at any time to ensure compliance of the equipment, or require equipment replacement schedules to be submitted to the city. The contractor will not be required to clean up or collect loose refuse or spillage not caused by the acts of its employees, but shall report the location of such conditions to the designated contact of the city so that proper notice can be given to the customer at the premises to properly contain refuse. The contractor shall pick up commercial refuse spillage or excess refuse after the customer reloads the container. In the case of commercial customers, the contractor shall then be entitled to an extra collection charge for each reloading of a commercial container requiring an extra collection. Should such commercial spillage continue to occur, the city shall require the commercial customer and the contractor to increase the frequency of collection of the commercial customer's refuse or require the customer to utilize a commercial container with a larger capacity, and the contractor shall be compensated for such additional services.
