REGULAR SCHEDULE

The following schedules note the depot site locations, pickup days, and pickup frequency.

Route days are assigned based on use history and container emptying needs. The County is open to suggested changes in route days, and available on-site capacity provided the sites remain well serviced and free of litter and debris. Frequency of service is expected to remain the same as shown unless fully demonstrated to be a service advantage.

The County reserves the right to cancel pickups, if in its opinion, sufficient capacity remains at the site to carry it to the next scheduled pickup. For example, at a site that is scheduled for pickup twice a week, the County may cancel the Friday pickup and only require the Monday pickup. If the County chooses to exercise this option, it will submit a full schedule to the Contractor by close of business on Wednesday. The Contractor will not invoice the County for two pickups, but may invoice the County for the single pickup at the twice per week rate.
