The floor area surrounding the containers shall be kept neat, orderly and free of debris. Containers shall be washed as needed to maintain clean appearance and smell.

Trash shall be disposed of in plastic bags secured with bag ties. At the Contractor’s discretion, recyclables can be collected in clear plastic bags secured with bag ties or placed directly into appropriately labeled dumpsters (loose cardboard or containers). The Contractor shall pick up any trash or recyclables that may fall onto the facility or grounds in the area around collection points during the removal of such collected waste. If the trash or recycling storage areas are in an enclosed area, the Contractor shall be responsible for relocating trash to designated pick up areas as directed by the TPOC, COR, COTR.
