Curbside segregation of debris and disaster-generated or related wastes will be an element of the City's disaster recovery
<br />program. The debris removal and disposal Contractor will be required to aid in the segregation and waste stream management
<br />processes. Waste and debris from hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major storm events, will be classified into the following five
<br />categories with responsibility as shown:
<br />1. Household trash and putrescible garbage - continued responsibility of the County
<br />2. Leaves and lawn litter, placed in clear plastic bags, placed by curb or shoulder of road - Contractor responsibility for
<br />removal and disposal. Contractor will decide, with concurrence by the City Debris Manager, whether plastic bags are to
<br />be co-mingled with the loose vegetative debris or are to be collected separately to facilitate recycling.
<br />3. Vegetative and clean, woody debris, suitable for chipping or grinding, loosely stacked, and placed by curb or road
<br />shoulder. This includes logs, stumps, rootballs, limbs, branches, and complete trees that may be removed and placed
<br />by the curb or road shoulder for collection. Any reduction of size of woody debris to make suitable for chipping, or
<br />grinding is part of the Contractors responsibility - Contractor responsibility for removal and disposal.
<br />4. Construction and demolition (C&D) debris, furniture, furnishings, appliances, etc. suitable for being land filled or
<br />recycled, stacked by curb or shoulder - Contractor responsibility for removal and disposal.
<br />5. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW), separated from all other types of waste and debris, placed at curb or road shoulder
<br />- HHW disposal at an approved facility will be the responsibility of the local residents.
<br />
<br />Citizens will be advised to separate all waste and debris, to the extent practicable, into the above categories. Failure by the
<br />citizens to perform this separation does not relieve the Contractor of his/her curbside separation responsibilities, to the extent
<br />practicable.
<br />
<br />Any Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) encountered by the debris removal Contractor is to be set aside. At the direction of the
<br />City or its designee, HHW disposal at an approved facility will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The City will coordinate
<br />with the Contractor to establish HHW drop-off locations for use by residents. The following items are considered HHW for the
<br />purpose of this contract:
<br />
<br />• Cleaning Products
<br />• Batteries
<br />• Workshop/Painting Supplies
<br />• Aerosol spray cans
<br />• Indoor Pesticides
<br />• Lawn and Garden Products
<br />• Automotive Products
<br />• Fluorescent light bulbs
<br />• Propane tanks and other compressed gas cylinders
<br />• Flammable Products
<br />• Home/Office Electronics - computers, TVs, monitors, lithium, and cadmium batteries
<br />
<br />The Contractor will set up a lined containment area and separate any HHW inadvertently delivered to a temporary debris staging
<br />site.
<br />
<br />Commercial and industrial hazardous waste such as chemicals, gas containers, transformers, and any other form of hazardous or
<br />toxic matter will be set aside for collection and disposal by a Hazardous Materials Removal and Disposal Contractor who will be
<br />coordinated by others.
